Guwahati, Sep 2: The Assam Pradesh Trinamool Congress today announced a list of 21 candidates for the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) elections, 2025.
The BTC elections will be held on the 20th of September. The BTC comprises of 40 members and has a total of 40 constituencies with voters estimated to be around 26, 57937.
Speaking to The Assam Rising, Dulu Ahmed, Senior Vice- President, Assam Pradesh Trinamool Congress said, “we have announced 21 candidates out of 40 for the BTC elections. We are confident that our candidates will put up a tough fight against the UPPL, BPF, BJP and the Congress. Although we have strong candidates in all the 21 seats, we are sure to win atleast 5-6 seats”.
He added, “A large chunk of minority voters reside in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR). They have always faced problems in the region. The minority communities earlier in BTR used to vote for the BPF but now they are with the Trinamool Congress. The minority community in the region have also discarded the Congress this time and are with us. There will be division of votes this time amongst the BPF, UPPL, BJP and the Congress and this will help our party immensely”.
“We would like to appeal the voters in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) to vote for our party since we are a secular party and development in BTR will remain our main agenda if voted to power”, added Ahmed.
