BJP Poised to Dominate Bodoland Elections Amidst New Alliances

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has expressed confidence that the BJP may become the dominant party in the upcoming Bodoland Territorial Council elections, scheduled for September 22. This follows an intensive campaign in which the BJP has emerged as a major contender in the region.

The chief minister highlighted that the BJP's strong performance is part of a strategic push for peace in the Bodoland Territorial Region. The BJP, which was previously a smaller player, is contesting 32 of the available 40 seats in this election.

This election sees the BJP working within a coalition, including the United People's Party Liberal and the Gana Suraksha Party. The election pits the BJP against the Bodoland People's Front, the incumbent power in the region.
