Guwahati: With the Assam Assembly elections approaching, the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL), an ally of the ruling BJP in the state, has said it will take a final call on its alliance strategy later this month.

UPPL president Pramod Boro said the party's stand on alliances, including whether it will tie up with any political formation, will be decided at the Central Executive Committee meeting on January 24 and the Central Conference scheduled for January 30 and 31.

"On January 24, we have our Central Executive Committee meeting, and on January 30 and 31, the Central Conference will be held. Several issues are under discussion, but the final decision on political alliances will be taken during the Central Conference," Boro said.


Meanwhile, Bodoland People's Front (BPF) president and Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) chief Hagrama Mohilary has ruled out the possibility of contesting the Assembly elections jointly with UPPL.
