It may be mentioned here that the Meghalaya unit of the TMC is led by veteran politicians from the state like former chief minister Mukul Sangma and former speaker Charles Pyngrope.
Most of the leaders and workers of the Meghalaya TMC are defectors from other parties in the state like the Congress and the NPP.
In November last year, 14 Meghalaya MLAs, including former chief minister Mukul Sangma, had quit the Congress and joined TMC.
Polling for the elections to the 60-member Meghalaya legislative assembly will be held in a single phase on February 27.
Counting of votes will be done on March 2.
