A day after the Election Commission declared election dates for Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland, the BJP's northeast strategist and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed the party's strategy for the three states.
Mr Sarma has been camping in Delhi and strategizing for the party with other regional parties.
"As part of the NEDA, BJP and NDPP has finalised seat-sharing for Nagaland polls. The NDPP will contest in 40 seats and BJP will contest 20 seats. For those 10 seats we have finalised everything," Mr Sarma told reporters in Delhi.
"Pradyot Debbarma met me informally but for Tripura there is a different set of leaders who are looking at alliances. In Meghalaya, we have decided to fight solo, so we are not forming any alliance. In Tripura, the Tipra Motha is actually not part of the BJP-led NEDA," Mr Sarma said.
