Mukul Sangma Says BJP Cannot Overtake TMC in Meghalaya, Rejects Joining National Party

Mukul Sangma, a senior leader of the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Meghalaya, told reporters that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lacks the capacity to break the TMC's foothold in the northeastern state. He emphasized that the TMC's organisational network and local support remain robust, making any BJP attempt to dominate the region unlikely.

Sangma also clarified his personal political stance, ruling out any possibility of joining a national party such as the BJP or Congress. He said his commitment remains with the TMC and its agenda for Meghalaya's development.

The remarks came ahead of the upcoming state elections, where the TMC is positioning itself as the main challenger to the BJP's growing influence in the state. Sangma's statements are expected to shape the narrative of regional politics in the run‑up to the polls.
