SHILLONG: While other political parties are looking for pre-poll alliances with like-minded parties to boost their prospects in the 2013 Assembly elections in the State, the BJP is keen to go alone in the polls.
BJP Meghalaya general secretary, Dipayan Chakraborty, on Sunday said, “There is very little chance that we will forge alliance with any political party for the election.”
Ruling out any possibility of an alliance with the UDP, which is a coalition partner of the Congress-led MUA Government, the BJP leader said, “The UDP is a part of the MUA Government which is encouraging FDI through the mining policy, so how can we have an alliance with the UDP.”
According to Chakraborty, the BJP workers are working hard in many constituencies and the party is active in more than thirty constituencies of the State.
The BJP also claims that the recent support to the Bharat Bandh in Shillong goes to show that people in the State have begun to accept the party and they are fed up of Congress rule.
Reacting to a query on the number of seats the party plans to contest, Chakraborty refused to comment anything saying that BJP central command will take a decision in this regard.
