The Congress, in 2001, was the last mainstream party to win here The BJP has pulled out all the stops to penetrate Bodoland, a region that has been out of bounds for mainstream political parties for 15 years.
The Congress was the last mainstream party to win two of the 12 seats across the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), comprising Baksa, Chirang, Kokrajhar and Udalguri districts, in 2001. It refrained from contesting any seat in the region in the next election because of its alliance with the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), which befriended the BJP ahead of the 2016 election before returning to the Congress camp in 2021.
