The BJP, along with its new allies United People’s Party Liberal and Gana Suraksha Party, will head the next Bodoland Territorial Council in Assam after governor Jagdish Mukhi accepted the three-party “post-poll coalition” claim to form the autonomous body on Sunday night.
Although the Bodoland People’s Front emerged as the single largest party winning 17 of the 40 seats despite a stiff challenge from its rivals, its hopes of a fourth straight term fizzled out after the BJP rebuffed BPF chief Hagrama Mohilary’s appeal to support its bid to form the BTC since they were still allies in the state government.
