Conrad Sangma, a member of the National People’s Party, was elected chief minister of Meghalaya in 2018. His party had partnered with the BJP and regional parties. However, two National People’s Party lawmakers switched over to the BJP last month, months after Sangma had declared that his party would run unopposed.
In Tripura, the BJP defeated the Left Front government of 25 years to win a comfortable majority in the 2018 Assembly elections. The Congress and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) announced their alliance to run together in the upcoming elections last week.
