Tura: The National People’s Party (NPP), on Friday, clarified its stance on any pre-poll alliance for the upcoming state assembly elections. Party chief and Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma made clear that the NPP will go solo in the polls slated to be held in the first half of 2023.
“We have always contested the election on our own. We never had any alliance with any other party in any of the states. There is neither a special policy for our state right now nor a special stand with the BJP. This is our general policy with all states and with all political parties. The NPP always fights elections on its own,” Conrad Sangma said on Friday.
The CM made the comments during the distribution of financial assistance to eligible youth groups under the Youth Engagement through Empowered Youth Organisations (YESS) initiative, on the occasion of International Youth Day.
