Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma of the BJP met in Guwahati, sources said
A day before vote counting in Meghalaya, the Chief Minister met his Assam counterpart at midnight amid exit polls forecast of a hung assembly, people familiar with the matter said.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, who heads the National People's Party (NPP), had decided to fight the assembly election solo, though his party and Himanta Biswa Sarma's BJP had been running the state government together under the banner of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance.
Mr Sangma and Mr Sarma discussed the possibility of a post-election alliance in the hush-hush meeting between the two leaders at a hotel in Assam's main city Guwahati, sources said.
Mr Sangma returned to Tura, his hometown in Meghalaya, this morning, sources said.
