Pynthorumkhrah leader Alexander Laloo Hek has said that the relationship between his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the National People’s Party (NPP) are intact with no plans to sever ties.
This was in contrast to what South Shillong MLA Sanbor Shullai recently said there is no guarantee on how long the relationship will last.
The NPP is the dominant party in the state Assembly while the BJP has just two seats. On the other hand, the BJP runs the central government and the NPP scored zero wins in the recent general election to the Lok Sabha.
However, Hek was confident that the alliance will persist and will remain strong. He said that the NPP chief, Conrad Sangma attended the NDA meeting, met with BJP leaders, and reinforced their relationship.
Hek downplayed claims that the NPP had accused the BJP for its Lok Sabha election debacle, stating that he had not received any such complaints.
