SHILLONG, Oct 13: Poll fervour has perhaps begun in Meghalaya and as the 2023 assembly elections approach nearer, the State BJP says it has reasons to believe that it has a good chance of winning the North Shillong seat.
The party recalled last Assembly polls in 2018 in which the BJP’s candidate stood second; in its wake, the party is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that it strengthens itself.
On Thursday, several office-bearers of North Shillong Block Congress submitted their resignation to the general secretary of the Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee citing personal reasons.
The Congressmen said they left the grand-old party to join the BJP stating that they have confidence in the saffron brigade to form a progressive and clean government.
The Congress members, who left the party, comprise mostly members from the party’s Oakland and Beaver Road units.
