With assembly elections due in the state early next year, Meghalaya BJP President Ernest Mawrie said that the people of the state will not accept the Trinamool Congress.

Ernest Mawrie stated that, unlike the BJP, the Trinamool Congress is not a national party and, hence, it would take time for them to find a foothold in the state.
