It needs mention here that there are 11 constituencies in Udalguri district and 10 constituencies in Baksa district. Udalguri recorded turnout of 75% voters, whereas Baksa registered 78% voters’ turnout. No such untoward incidents were reported during the 1st phase of the polls.
The contest is primarily between the ruling Bodoland’s People Front (BPF) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). BPF’s Chief Hangrama Mohilary has been given a real challenge by the BJP. Himanta Biswa Sarma has thrown his entire weight in campaigning in BTC areas since a fortnight. The outcome of the high voltage BTC polls could be known on 12 December as the counting of votes will take place on that day.
