For Jovanjeet Singh, 24, the presence of the men in uniform is a constant reminder of a violent week from five years ago. On a recent February morning, it was business as usual in Shillong’s Punjabi Lane — pedestrians made their way past the many roadside vendors, women chatted in small groups, and young boys wolfed down ghugni (chickpeas). In between his hectic campaigning, Mukul speaks to The Indian Express on a range of issues, including the TMC’s poll prospects. [Conrad Sangma and Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and ex-CM Mukul Sangma](https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/assembly-elections-tmc-conrad-sangma-npp-battle-for-meghalaya-8390068/). Mukul and the TMC are perceived to be synonymous in the state — so much so that the Mamata Banerjee-led party’s entire plunge into the Assembly polls is centred on the former’s leadership. The reason, says Rabha, lies in the point that in the final analysis the electoral battle in Meghalaya would be about one overarching face-off — between Chief Minister and National People’s Party (NPP) president

"Adaraniya Sri @JPNadda ji , the national president of the @BJP4India has advised the state unit of BJP, Meghalaya to support the National People’s Party in forming the next government in Meghalaya," the Assam CM added.

The most likely scenario in Meghalaya is an NPP-BJP government with a few Independents and smaller parties.

Founded by Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit, formerly with UDP and HSPDP, the VPP fielded a number of fresh faces in the election and promised clean, pro-people governance. The party has led governments in Meghalaya in the past and had ambitions of doing that again. Because the truth is worth it.) However, a lot would depend on how these parties plan to pitch themselves in the state. This is because of the shift of Mukul Sangma and a number of MLAs from the Congress to the Trinamool Congress.
