Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, who is also the boss of the National People's Party (NPP), has indicated that his party might ally with the BJP, in Manipur.

Thirty of the 36 disputed villages along the Meghalaya-Assam border have been recommended by regional committees of the two states to remain in Meghalaya, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma informed the assembly

The National People's Party or the NPP will emerge as the single largest party in Manipur, asserted its party president Conrad Sangma. A comment which is likely to cause some concern within the BJP, its alliance partner.

A National People's Party (NPP) candidate's father has been shot at by unidentified people in poll-bound Manipur's Imphal East district, Deputy Chief Minister Yumnam Joykumar Singh said on Saturday.

Mr Sangma claimed that at one point, his party MLAs had "had enough" and they quit the coalition. "It was only after the intervention of some leaders and myself that the coalition was saved," he added.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma today met with Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla in Delhi and discussed a peace proposal by the insurgent group Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council, or HNLC.

Assam and Meghalaya have agreed to resolve their boundary disputes in six locations and are ready to find solutions to six other such areas soon, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said on Wednesday.

A sub-plot in the electoral battle for Manipur this time has been the rivalry between members of BJP-led the ruling coalition, the latest episode of which on Saturday saw one of them accuse another of an outright "betrayal".

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Friday said the NPP-led MDA government launched an inclusive farmers' welfare programme - FOCUS - that will benefit over 4.5 lakh farmers.

Schools in Meghalaya will reopen for Classes 1-5 from February 14, Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said.

The NPP is contesting from 42 out of 60 assembly seats this time. In 2017, it had contested nine seats, won four of them and emerged as kingmaker.

The two rivals, Congress and BJP, are in the same alliance in Meghalaya now. All five Congress MLAs in Meghalaya led by party leader Ampereen Lyngdoh has given support to the coalition led by Chief Minister Conrad Sangma's National People's Party.

A Chief Minister of one state campaigning in another may not seem like a novel idea but the example of Meghalaya's Conrad Sangma is a curious one.

Voting on the 60-member assembly will be conducted in two phases on February 27 and March 3. Votes will be counted on March 10.
