NDTV
Lok Sabha elections 2024: The BJP has ensured that no friendly fights happen in the NDA to reduce division of votes in the northeast, which sends 25 MPs to the Lok Sabha
The BJP has ensured there is no friendly fight in the northeast in this Lok Sabha election, in a break from past practice. The northeast region sends 25 MPs to the Lok Sabha. To ensure a win in more seats, the BJP has asked its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) members in the northeast to avoid friendly fights.
"The NDA partners in the northeast have expressed support to the other NDA partners for the Lok Sabha polls. We are supporting each other. In Meghalaya, the NDA is supporting the NPP; in Arunachal, the NDA partners are supporting the BJP; in Outer Manipur seat, we are all supporting the NPF," Meghalaya Chief Minister and NPP chief Conrad Sangma said.
Mr Sangma's National People's Party (NPP) is the BJP's key ally in the northeast.
