Among the newly inducted members are two MLAs from the Congress party, Ninong Ering and Wanglin Lowangdong, along with two MLAs from the National People’s Party (NPP), Mutchu Mithi and Gokar Basar.

It also highlights the growing appeal of the BJP among political leaders seeking to align themselves with a party that espouses a nationalistic agenda and emphasizes development-oriented governance.
