BJP finalises seat-sharing deal with two regional parties for Assam polls

Himanta Biswa Sarma, Assam's Chief Minister, announced that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has finalized seat-sharing arrangements with two regional allies: the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) and the Rabha Hasong Joutha Mancha (RHJM). The BPF will contest 11 seats, while the BJP will contest four in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), and the RHJM is expected to get one seat in the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council. The seat-sharing with Pramod Boro, president of the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), depends on an agreement between the BPF and UPPL, while the BJP has almost finalized a deal with the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP).
