GUWAHATI: Apprehending attempts of poaching by the ruling BJP, the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) has shifted 10 of its 11 candidates of the recently-concluded Assam elections overseas.
This comes two days after the ten-party grand alliance of Opposition had flown out 20 candidates – 18 from the All India United Democratic Front and two from the Congress – to Rajasthan.
The only BPF candidate to remain in Assam is Minister Pramila Rani Brahma. She confirmed the development surrounding her party, which is a component of the Opposition alliance.
“Yes, they left yesterday (Saturday) but I have no idea which country exactly they are visiting. I could not contact them,” Brahma told this newspaper on Sunday.

GUWAHATI: In what can be called as dexterity in defusing rebellion, the BJP-AGP combine has been able to calm their respective rebel candidates in the Assembly election. The Congress, on the contrary, is still grappling with rebellion.
A few Congress stalwarts like former minister Ardhendu Dey, Gautam Dhanowar and a few others have quit the Congress and some of them are bent on fighting this Assembly election as independent candidates against official Congress candidates.
The situation was same for the BJP as well when its Hojai MLA Shiladitya Deb quit the party and decided to fight the election as an independent candidate as the party denied him ticket. However, Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and MP Dillip Saikia rushed to Shiladitya s Hojai residence on Friday to calm him. Now Shiladitya Deb has decided to work for the party. Sarma has told the Hojai MLA that the BJP needs him and will keep him with the right position .
