He said, “NPP will not be a part of the next government in Manipur. BJP on its own will form the new government.”
The Assam CM further attacked his Meghalaya counterpart; saying that CM Conrad Sangma led NPP had “no values”.
CM Sarma, who is also the convener of North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), said, “Forget NPP. Such parties have no value. Nobody in this world knows that such a party exists.”
“The NPP MLAs became ministers in Manipur government at the mercy of the BJP. The NPP had nothing to show on their own,” he added.

The NPP’s candidate for the polls is Santi Singh and Congress’ candidate is Sharatchandra Singh from Moriang seat.
