The upcoming Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) elections on September 22, 2025, are shaping up to be a landmark moment for BJP Assam, marking the party’s dramatic transition from the political margins to the very heart of Bodoland’s people and politics.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched the BJP manifesto in Guwahati, promising peace, progress, and prosperity for the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR). This independent campaign—BJP’s first without local alliances—signals confidence in the party’s growing grassroots connect. Sarma highlighted the record turnout from every community, calling it a testament to the party’s new-found acceptance and appeal.
BJP’s Sankalp Patra pledges holistic development, equal rights for all communities, improved educational infrastructure and enhanced connectivity through new bridge projects. The planned operationalisation of Tamulpur Medical College and expansion of Bodoland University underscores a vision for modern educational opportunities. Special state initiatives will target women and girl students, aiming to uplift underdeveloped areas.
Once the region’s ruling party, Bodoland People's Front (BPF) faces stiff competition as the BJP seeks a historic outright victory, buoyed by enthusiastic election rallies and popular support. Nearly 27 lakh voters from diverse backgrounds will decide the fate of 40 council seats, with every major party—UPPL, BJP, BPF, GSP—fielding candidates across the BTR.
Sarma’s statements reflect the party’s commitment to communal harmony and the importance of maintaining peace throughout the election period. "From being at the margins, our party is now at the heart of BTR’s people and politics. The turnout—across every community—is a testament to this," he said.
By placing people-centric development and unity at the core of its campaign, BJP4Assam aims for a transformative victory in Bodoland, potentially reshaping the region’s future politics.
