BJP prepares for all 60 seats, adjustments later

SHILLONG: Despite the call for pre-poll alliances from several quarters, the BJP is preparing its ground work for all the 60 constituencies to be ready for the 2018 polls.
State BJP president Shibun Lyngdoh said after the recent meeting of the State Executive Committee at Tura, the BJP is preparing to strengthen the party in all the 60 constituencies.
“Now our plan is to prepare for all the 60 constituencies. But when election time comes we will see about pre-poll arrangements, but the subject of alliance will have to be finally decided by the Centre,” Lyngdoh said.
He said the district-wise meeting of the BJP is on full swing and the party covered Ri Bhoi district recently.
“We will have a meeting of the party in Nongstoin on Monday and will also plan Kisan Sabha in Garo Hills. There will be a lot of activities in the whole year for the benefit of the poor as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he added.
According to Lyngdoh, though the BJP did not win any seat in the district council by-polls, the feedback the party received will be useful for the 2018 polls.
