The BPF Bodoland People’s Front is an ally of the BJP in the state government and there are three ministers from the party in the cabinet. However, the BJP joined hands with the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL).
When the BJP did not ally with the BPF, Hagrama Mohilary, BPF supremo and an influential Bodo leader, approached the Gauhati High Court, challenging the manner in which the Chief Executive Member and other executive members were appointed and alleging violation of constitutional provisions.
The HC on Tuesday ordered a floor test to be held before December 26.
Meanwhile, Mohilary on Thursday said that he was not satisfied with the outcome and will consider his next legal step. He said that the party wants a floor test through secret ballot and not raising hands. “We will challenge today’s proceedings in court,” Mohilary said.
