BJP’s Meghalaya co‑in‑charge Numal Momin said the party’s desire for a cabinet berth is legitimate, rejecting criticism.
Numal Momin, the BJP’s co‑in‑charge for Meghalaya, reiterated that the party’s ambition to secure a ministerial portfolio in the state is perfectly legitimate. Speaking to Northeast Today, he emphasized that seeking representation in the cabinet is a normal part of democratic politics and should not be portrayed as undue pressure.
The statement comes as the BJP evaluates its role in Meghalaya’s political landscape following recent electoral outcomes. Party officials have been discussing strategies to increase their influence in the state government, and Momin’s comments reflect an effort to reassure supporters that their aspirations are within constitutional bounds.
