The Bodoland People’s Front, an ally of the Congress in Assam, has flown party members who contested the state Assembly polls to an undisclosed location amid fears that the Bharatiya Janata Party would try to buy their loyalties, the
Hindustan Times reported on Sunday.
“I am not sure where they [the candidates] are now,” said senior Bodoland People’s Front leader Pramila Rani Brahma, who contested from the Kokrajhar East seat. “But the candidates are outside Assam, that’s confirmed. I am not going anywhere.”
An unidentified leader said that 10 Bodoland People’s Front leaders were taken to Bhutan on April 10 and would likely stay there till May 2.
