PoliticsBJP's Growth in Meghalaya: From Hindutva to Regional Outreach
The BJP first won three seats in Meghalaya's 1998 Assembly elections despite the state's 75% Christian population, which viewed the party as a threat. Over time, alliances with regional leaders like Conrad K Sangma of the National People's Party helped BJP gain influence. Although it struggled to win many seats, BJP joined the state government in 2018 and 2023, marking gradual regional acceptance beyond its Hindutva image.
