Shillong: Multiple sitting MLAs and MDCs in Meghalaya want to join the BJP. Party state president Rikman Momin confirmed the interest today. This shift signals potential political realignment across the state. The party plans to decide on these new members following a meeting with central leadership in Delhi on November 15.
Momin plans to form a coordination committee led by a sitting MLA. This group will tackle four specific issues and maintain a direct line to Delhi to push for results. He credits the recent addition of eight MLAs for boosting the party's sway with the central government. The recent visits of a coal committee and a Joint Parliamentary Committee to Shillong demonstrate this increased leverage.
The party maintains a firm stance on protecting Christian institutions in the region. Momin will meet with the JPC chairman in Delhi to present their position and push for solutions. "We can clearly see how keenly the Centre is taking us after the numbers have increased," Momin said. He believes the party needs a clear majority in the Assembly to fix the state's five main concerns and speed up development. He urged voters to hand the BJP power to ensure these promises become reality.
