Guwahati/New Delhi, Dec 13 (IANS) Assam’s ruling BJP will support its new ally UPPL to take power in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) as the results of the elections to the 40-member autonomous body threw up a fractured mandate even as the saffron party made big gains.
The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) had fought against each other in the BTC polls despite ruling Assam together along with the Asom Gana Parishad.
Accompanied by Finance and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Sunday announced that student leader-turned-politician Pramod Boro, President of the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), would be the new chief of BTC.
