Like “big brother” BJP, which took over the regional People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) government on December 2016, the NPP had acquired seven legislators of the PPA in July 2018. Two of them joined the Congress later.
“We performed well (in the Arunachal Pradesh as well as the Lok Sabha polls), but our win has been overshadowed by the tragedy,” Meghalaya CM and NPP president Conrad K. Sangma said.
The NPP had won four out of the 55 seats where results were declared. Counting for two more seats – Raga and Dumporijo – the party contested was not completed by 8 pm.
