A day ahead of swearing in, BPF Chief sets pre-condition for joining BJP led NDA

Guwahati, Oct 4 (UNI) A day ahead of the swearing in ceremony of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), Chief of the Bodoland Peoples' Front (BPF) Hagrama Mohilary has said that the party will join the BJP led NDA coalition only when the saffron party drops the United Peoples' Party Liberal (UPPL) from the coalition.
Mohilary is all set to form the next government at the sixth schedule council and he is supposed to swear in Assam the Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Council, tomorrow.
Mohilary's pre-condition is no less than a shock for the saffron party who had earlier claimed that it would form the government in the BTC either the UPPL or BFP.
