GUWAHATI: The Bodoland People's Front (BPF) has joined mahagathbandhan ahead of the Assam Elections 2021.
The mahajath consisted of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), Communist Party of India, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the Communist Party of India (Marxist Leninist) Liberation, and the Anchalik Gana Marcha (AGM). Bodoland People's Front has now joined the alliance.
"To work for Peace, Unity, and Development and to bring a stable government, free from corruption in Assam , the Bodoland Peoples’ Front (BPF) has decided to join hands with MAHAJATH. BPF shall no longer maintain friendship or alliance with BJP. In the forthcoming Assam Assembly Election BPF shall work hand to hand with Mahajath," stated Hagrama Mohilary, President of the Bodoland People's Front.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Ranjit Dass had said that BJP has no relation with BPF and is fighting elections with UPPL.
The BPF joining the grand alliance means the battle for Bodoland becomes more intense.
According to sources in Assam Congress, one more political party is expected to join the mahagathbandhan soon.
