Results of 12 Bodoland seats could swing Assam election

Bodoland may well be the key to the formation of the next government in Assam.

But Hagrama Mohilary’s BPF ridiculed Boro’s poll math. “In the third phase we, as Mahajot, will win over 25 seats out of 40,” said Mohilary, predicting BPF victory on all eight seats it contested in the third phase.

Mohilary’s predictions for the Mahajot in the 126-member Assam assembly are modest — he gives 70 seats to the Congress-led alliance. This is far lower than the 100 plus predictions by several top Congress leaders.
