Assam: Over 100 ex-cadres of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam. These former militants joined the saffron celebration in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district on Tuesday.
These militants had been ex-cadres of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and had been led by Nabin Chandra Bodo.
“A total of 110 former members of the NDFB have joined our party today. They are from different areas and held various top positions in the militant outfit,” mentioned BJP’s Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) chief govt Tuliram Ronghang mentioned.
This transfer will strengthen the celebration not solely in Karbi Anglong, but additionally in neighbouring West Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao districts, he mentioned.
These three districts are represented by one MP within the Lok Sabha, with BJP’s Horensing Bey at present holding the seat.
“The members who joined us today will work to further strengthen the party and ensure that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wins a third straight term,” Ronghang mentioned.
