Imphal, Feb 21: Assam Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) key strategist in the Northeast Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said that the National People’s Party (NPP) will not be a part of the next government in Manipur. He said BJP will form government on its own and there are no chances for a Congress revival.
Sarma attacked NPP while addressing a rally at Moirang in Manipur on Monday, saying that BJP will form its own government.
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.
Notably, CM Sarma was campaigning for BJP’s candidate from Moirang, M Prithviraj Singh ahead of the upcoming assembly polls in the state.
The NPP’s candidate from the constituency is Santi Singh and Congress’ candidate is Sharatchandra Singh from Moriang seat.

Glad to joined flag hoisting ceremony of @BJP4Manipur candidate for Moirang @Prithviraj27mrg in presence of Union Min Sri @byadavbjp Hon CM Sri @NBirenSingh, BJP Spokesperson Sri @sambitswaraj & senior leaders”.
