Overview
- Parties have intensified booth-level organisation and outreach across the Bodoland Territorial Region as campaign groundwork accelerates.
- The BJP is holding parallel talks with the BPF and the UPPL, with recent Delhi meetings involving Amit Shah, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Hagrama Mohilary and Pramod Boro.
- After winning the 2025 BTC polls, the BPF holds three MLAs including a minister and has conveyed its desire to contest 12 of the BTR’s 15 Assembly seats.
- Observers say the UPPL could explore a pre-poll understanding with the Congress, though no decision has been announced and a BJP leader says both regional parties remain in the NDA.
- Bodo voters influence outcomes beyond the BTR’s 15 seats, shaping contests in at least 10 more constituencies across Assam.
