The BPF severed ties with BJP in February last year, just before the assembly polls in Assam and joined the grand alliance led by Congress.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said that the BJP has admitted Bodoland People's Front (BPF) as a partner of the party in the Legislative Assembly.
"From today, we have admitted the Bodoland People's Front as one of the partner parties of BJP within the Assam Legislative Assembly. We will have total floor coordination with BPF as well as they will be sitting in the ruling party's portion in the Assam assembly," Mr Sarma said.
But the Assam Chief Minister clarified that the alliance was not on a political level, and will be confined only to the assembly.
"This friendship will be confined to the assembly but at a political level, we have not taken any such decision. This decision has been taken only at the level of a legislature party," he said.
