Its a hung house in Meghalaya as no party could get majority in the election. Congress has emerged as the single largest party with 21 seats but far below the majority mark of 30. The party has sent top leaders Kamal Nath and Ahmed Patel from Delhi to talk to regional parties for support. "Associates have assured support in the last one hour. The BJP is out of the fray, they are trying to create mischief," said Kamal Nath to NDTV. The BJP and its regional allies in Meghalaya like the National People's Party (NPP) and the United Democratic Party are contesting separately. The party's senior strategist Hiamta Biswa Sarma is in state capital Shillong to work out a post-poll alliance. BJP has got only two seats, whereas Conrad Sangma-led NPP has secured 19 seats.
