Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reached Union home minister Amit Shah’s official residence here on Sunday to discuss government formation in Tripura and Nagaland, sources said.

Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio also attended the meeting.

According to the sources, the cabinet structure and government formation will be discussed during the meeting.

The BJP returned to power in Tripura and retained power in Meghalaya with the alliance partner National Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP).

In Shillong, a special session of the Meghalaya Assembly has been convened for the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected MLAs and the election of the speaker, a senior official said on Sunday.

The new House will have its first sitting on Monday, when the pro-tem speaker administers the oath of office to the legislators, the official said.

The House will be meeting again on March 9 for the election of Speaker, commissioner and secretary of the Assembly.

The BJP-backed NPP-led alliance with 32 MLAs has staked claim to form the next government in Meghalaya, under the leadership of Conrad K. Sangma.

The NPP won 26 seats in the recently concluded elections, while its ally, the BJP, won only two seats.

Two Hill State People’s Democratic Party MLAs, who have won the elections, have also pledged their support to the NPP-BJP coalition.
