'Need To Ally With Party That Can...': Meghalaya CM After Exit Poll Results, Says Report

<p>Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, whose NPP (National People's Party) may wind up as the state's single largest party in the assembly elections that ended today, hinted that his partnership with the BJP may be resurrected shortly, NDTV reported.</p> <p>"If we just obtain a fraction of the mandate, we'll have to talk to other parties about forming a government... We are aiming to form a party that can represent the northeast on a national level " Sangma stated this after four exit polls suggested that the NPP may win 20 of Meghalaya's 60 seats, NDTV reported. That would fall well short of the Chief Minister's party's majority of 31 in the 60-member house.</p> <p>The BJP, which won only two seats in the state in 2018, will increase its total to six. According to exit polls, the Congress may win six seats and the Trinamool Congress might gain 11 seats.</p> <p><em><strong>(This Is A Developing Story...More Details To Follow)</strong></em></p>
