SHILLONG, NOV 14: BJP state president Rikman G Momin on Friday downplayed concerns over the proposed formation of a unified regional front, stating that any such grouping is ultimately aligned with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and therefore poses no contradiction to the BJP’s agenda.
Speaking to the media, Momin remarked, “Whoever is forming it, they are part of NDA, so that doesn’t matter. They want to voice for the Northeast as a regional front—let them do it, but they are with us (BJP).”
He referenced the recent statement of the Chief Minister, who affirmed his continued support for the NDA, and added, “Definitely this move will benefit BJP. When BJP allies with good regional parties, it benefits the BJP—it has proven in Bihar.”
