A team of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders from Meghalaya, including Health minister AL Hek and South Shillong MLA, Sanbor Shullai will visit Garo Hills on April 6 to garner support for the candidates of the party.

According to party sources, the BJP has set its sights on increasing its tally from the lone seat that it won the previous term. 

Campaigning for the Shyamnagar seat, the largest in terms of population has been on a very active note for Congress candidate, Habibuz Zaman, who is going door to door to garner support for his campaign.
