‘Erasure of CM’ from BPF’s posters raises eyebrows in Assam
The Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) in Assam has been accused of erasing photos of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma from posters supporting its candidates, particularly in Muslim-dominated areas. Political commentator Dhanjit Das suggests this move is a strategic attempt to appease the Bodo tribal community and counter potential backlash from Muslims who felt betrayed by the alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), a rival party, sees an opportunity to capitalize on these sentiments and potentially gain ground in the upcoming elections.
