It is expected that the Congress, now being the single largest party, will stake claim to form a government in the north-eastern state, as it has said after the recent Karnataka polls that it would. With Miani D Shira, the daughter of former chief minister Mukul Sangma, winning the Ampati Assembly seat in Meghalaya, the Congress today became the single largest in the state.
The victory gave the Congress 21 seats in the 60-member Assembly, one MLA more than the NPP, which is leading the coalition government with the support of the regional parties and the BJP in the state.
