SHILLONG, April 29: The BJP has constituted an election committee to decide on the candidate for the upcoming Shillong parliamentary by-election.
Sources informed that there are as many as four to five applicants, the majority from Jaintia Hills, who wants to contest the election on a BJP ticket.
It is learnt that the party spokesperson, M Kharkrang, has not applied for the ticket, while former president, Ernest Mawrie, is keen to contest the by-election.
