BJP has campaigned hard for the elections as Himanta Biswa Sarma had led massive rallies across the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR).
The Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), which has ruled BTC for close to 17 years, failed to touch the majority mark of 21 seats.
BPF has won three seats less as compared to its 2015 tally.
