The BJP's victory in the northeast has changed the perception that only the Congress can survive there, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said today.

Singh, along with BJP president Amit Shah, attended the swearing-in-ceremony of the Conrad Sangma-led coalition government in Meghalaya, where the BJP is also part. "There was a perception that only the Congress can survive in the Northeast. But now that perception has changed with the BJP's victory in the Northeast," he said.

In the recently held Assembly elections, the Congress was ousted from power in Meghalaya while the party could not win a single seat in Tripura and Nagaland. PTI
