Talking to media persons, on the sidelines of the meet, Mangaldai Lok Sabha MP Dilip Saikia dusted all the rumours making rounds among the civic society in regards of the saffron party’s pre poll alliance with BPF or UPPL.
“We want our party workers and the voters to get it loud and clear that we are not in alliance with any party and we will contest the polls solo,” added Saikia.
Pertinently, Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) with its 12 MLAs is in alliance with BJP in Dispur and is power ever since the formation of BTC in 2003.
