Ending all the speculation, the Bharatiya Janata Party has decided not to put up candidates for the two seats in Meghalaya in the Lok Sabha elections.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra announced this in X and said the party will support the candidates of Conrad Sangma led NPP in both Tura and the Shillong seat.
“As per the instructions of the Hon’ble National President of @BJP4India, Shri @JPNadda ji, I am pleased to inform that BJP will extend its support to Lok Sabha Candidates of NPP in both the seats of Meghalaya (Shillong and Tura), to NPF in the Outer Manipur Constituency and to NDPP in Nagaland in the ensuing Parliamentary elections 2024,” Patra said.
It may be mentioned that the state BJP forwarded the names of as many as 11 aspiring candidates to the central leadership. While six are from Tura parliamentary seat, five are from Shillong seat.
