In a historic move, leaders from multiple Northeast Indian parties declared their intention to unite under a single political entity. This announcement was made by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and other notable party members.
This initiative, expected to materialize within 45 days, focuses on centralizing regional issues and creating a robust political voice for the Northeast. The formation of a nine-member committee, including former BJP spokesperson Mmhonlumo Kikon, marks the first step in this process.
The new political entity aims to tackle issues such as land rights, economic development, and indigenous representation. Leaders emphasized that this unity is not meant as a confrontation with the BJP but rather as a platform necessary for the Northeast's progression.
