UPPL to Decide Alliance Strategy After Key Meetings

With Assam Assembly elections nearing, the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) on Thursday said it will take a final decision on its alliance strategy later this month. UPPL president Pramod Boro said the issue will be decided during the party’s Central Conference on January 30 and 31, following a Central Executive Committee meeting on January 24.

Meanwhile, an alliance between UPPL and the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) in the Bodoland Territorial Region appears unlikely, with BPF chief Hagrama Mohilary ruling out any tie-up in the BTC. Boro also said recent violence in Kokrajhar was brought under control within a day, thanking the police and district administration for their swift action.
