The political scene is changing very fast in the poll bound state of Meghalaya. Before two day 8 MLAs had resigned from Assembly, and now 4 MLAs are ready to resign from Meghalaya Assembly and to join BJP on Tuesday .

As per the BJP  official source, four MLAs will resign as members of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly to join the BJP . These four MLAs are A.L. Hek from Congress, Sanbor Shullai of the Nationalist Congress Party and two Independents – Justine Dkhar and Robinus Syngkon.

 The BJP state unit president Shibun Lyngdoh said that the four legislators will be joining the BJP at a public meeting.

Those who will be present at the meeting include Union tourism minister K.J. Alphons, who is also the party’s Meghalaya election in-charge, Assam Finance minister and North East Democratic Alliance convener Himanta Biswa Sarma and BJP national general secretary in-charge of the Northeast, Ram Madhav.

“We will be resigning as the members of the Meghalaya assembly and join the BJP,” Mr Hek, who had served as a cabinet minister in the Mukul Sangma cabinet, told media.
