Meghalaya UDP MLA Mawthoh joins BJP; eight more may follow

UDP MLA Mawthoh has joined the BJP in Meghalaya, signaling a possible larger political realignment in the northeastern state. Sources indicate that up to eight additional UDP legislators may follow suit in coming days.

If the defections materialize, the BJP's strength in Meghalaya's 60-member Assembly would rise to 10, positioning it as the second-largest party in the state. The move reflects ongoing political shifts in the region's party alignments.
