In a significant development ahead of the 2026 Assam assembly election, Meghalaya Chief Minister and National People’s Party (NPP) national president, Conrad Sangma met leaders of Assam-based Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) in Shillong on Monday. The NPP and AGP are allies of the BJP.

In his X post (formerly Twitter), Bora said, “Assam and Meghalaya share a unique bond of friendship that goes back several decades, rooted in our shared history, culture, traditions, and people-to-people ties. The AGP and NPP too enjoy a relationship of mutual respect and understanding, built on the vision of strengthening regional identity and aspirations.”
“We in the AGP deeply value Meghalaya CM Sangma’s goodwill towards Assam and its people. His sincere efforts in fostering unity, cooperation, and harmony between our two neighbouring states deserve special appreciation,” the AGP president added.
Bora informed that the AGP leaders have also extended a cordial invitation to Sangma to join the AGP Foundation Day celebrations in Guwahati on October 14.
“Under the dynamic leadership of Sangma Meghalaya has been witnessing remarkable progress, peace, and prosperity,” the AGP leader said.
