Regional party outdoes Mahajot ally Congress and the All India United Democratic Front, who packed their candidates off to Rajasthan
What the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) can do, ally Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) can do better. Two days after the AIUDF and Congress packed at least 20 of their candidates off to a luxury hotel in Congress-ruled Rajasthan, the BPF sent 10 candidates overseas, apparently amid fears of horse-trading by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prior to the declaration of the Assembly election results on May 2. The Congress, AIUDF and BPF are the main constituents of the 10-party Mahajot and grand alliance that contested the three-phase State polls.More Related News
