PM Modi's 'development blitz' ahead of the assembly elections in Meghalaya and Mizoram next year will not go unnoticed by the Congress, especially after it lost Manipur in March this year despite winning the most number of seats but short of majority in the 60-member assembly. The BJP, which won 21 seats, formed a coalition government in the eleventh hour with state parties.
Meghalaya BJP chief Shibun Lyngdoh told news agency IANS that PM Modi's campaign in the state will definitely boost the party's prospects. The Congress-led Meghalaya United Alliance government has been in power for two consecutive terms.
