BJP's north east strategist Himanta Biswa Sarma is headed to Shillong where the next few hours will see hectic negotiations with Meghalaya giving a majority to no party. The Congress is leading in 22 seats, nine short of the 31 seats needed to form government.
In 2013, the Congress had won 29 of Meghalaya's 60 seats and had formed government with the help of Independents.
