The Bodoland People's Front, which is preparing for an alliance with BJP ahead of Assam Assembly elections, received a major boost today with the merger of BPPF with BPF.
With this merger, the two major Bodo parties have come together with an eye on the state polls. Rabiram Narzary led BPPF formally merged with the BPF at Kokrajhar in the presence of BPF supremo Hagrama Mohilary.
Immediately after the merger, Narzary's name was announced as the BPF's candidate for upcoming state polls.
The BPF has already announced candidates for several seats even before declaration of election schedule.
The BPF was an ally of the ruling Congress since 2006 but had quit the alliance in 2014. It is expected to forge an alliance with the BJP in non-Bodo areas for coming polls.
