BPF sweeps BTC polls, BJP reclaims council role via NDA realignment
Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) secured a commanding victory in the BTC elections, ousting the BJP-UPPL-GSP coalition, marking BJP's first electoral setback in Assam since 2016. BJP swiftly reintegrated BPF into the NDA, with CM Himanta Biswa Sarma declaring all 40 seats now held by NDA constituents. Sarma attributed BJP's underperformance to suspending campaigning after Zubeen Garg's death and attacked Congress.
