Dear all, You can find this scraper tool that I wrote useful for getting constituency wise data for the state. It also hosts the data that you need in csv. You can modify the data in the csv file to get your format.
https://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/election_commission_india_results_meghalaya_asse_1/ Alternatively, if you want to scrape the data in the "state wise" format that you mention, you can modify the scrapers that I had written for other northeastern states earlier - look into my scraperwiki profile - for Karnataka and obtain the same. https://scraperwiki.com/profiles/vrsrini/ ----- Apropos MP/MLA Shape files though, I am disappointed that despite putting in a lot of effort, there has been no headway in obtaining shapefiles for constituencies though. It is just a shame. Best, Srinivasan -- Srinivasan V.
