Guwahati/Agartala, Dec 14 : The BJP has dumped its old ally in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) polls in Assam and ignored its partner s willingness to share seats in the upcoming polls in Tripura tribals autonomous body aiming to strengthen its domination on its own in the tribal areas of northeastern region, political observers say.
In the BTC polls, held last week, the Bharatiya Janata Party, which heads Assam s ruling coalition, entered resoundingly into the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) comprising four districts Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri - by wining nine seats in the 40-member council as against one in 2015.
