GUWAHATI: Taking a jibe at the BJP, its estranged ally Bodoland People s Front (BPF), which joined the Congress-led grand alliance of opposition parties on Saturday, said party conglomerate will be able to form the next government in Assam without having to poach MLAs from other parties. We will form the next government without borrowing MLAs. You have seen it in BTC (Bodoland Territorial Council) elections. MLAs were kidnapped and taken to Shillong and Hotel Lily in Guwahati, insurgent leader-turned-politician and BPF president Hagrama Mohilary said on Sunday at a joint press conference of the grand alliance.
Exuding confidence that the coalition will get absolute majority in the upcoming Assam Assembly elections, he said it would drive out the ruling BJP and save the state.
