BJP claims victory of regional political parties as its own: Assam Jatiya Parishad

GUWAHATI: The BJP's claim that it had formed governments in Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura is not entirely accurate as it has negligible presence in the first two states, Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), a regional party, said on Friday.

The BJP contested the polls in alliance with the regional party NDPP in Nagaland and in Meghalaya, where the party fought on its own, it managed to win only two seats, AJP general secretary Jagadish Bhuyan said.

"We can safely say that the real political power still lies with the regional parties in Meghalaya and Nagaland," he said.
