Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, who is also the boss of the National People's Party (NPP), has indicated that his party might ally with the BJP, in Manipur.

Senior BJP leader and Manipur Chief minister N Biren Singh, however, said that the party would continue its alliance with the Naga People's Front (NPF) and not the NPP.
"We may be are the part of NDA but we always fight polls alone and with our own ideology. Later, in a post poll scenario, in case of a fractured mandate, we come together to form a government but, in this case, the BJP has got the mandate, so the ball is in their court," Mr Sangma further said.
The NPP went solo in the state assembly polls and became the second-largest party with seven seats after the BJP.
