The BJP in Manipur has claimed to have secured the support of 32 MLAs after getting the backing of NDA constituent parties and two other MLAs, and said it would elect the legislature party leader on Monday.
The BJP has 21 MLAs of its own and has secured support of 11 others, adding up to 32 legislators; 31 are needed to form the government in the 60-member assembly, Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said after meeting Governor Najma Heptullah.
A delegation of BJP and parties supporting it too called on the governor but it was not clear what transpired in the meeting.
Biswa Sarma said the legislature party leader would be elected on Monday.
Shyamkumar, one of the 28 Congress MLAs who won from Andro constituency, and the lone All India Trinamool Congress legislator Robindro have joined the BJP, taking the party's numbers to 32, Sarma said.
Asked about application of the anti-defection law against Shyamkumar, Biswa Sarma said they have kept that in mind.
