After this statement BJP President came in discussion

BJP got a crushing defeat
Let us tell that the BJP has faced a crushing defeat in the Meghalaya assembly elections. Here BJP got only three seats. Just before the election, the decision to break away from its old partner NPP and contest the election proved to be a flop. Before the assembly elections, BJP was hollering about forming government on its own in the state, but this bet did not work in Meghalaya.
