Supreme Court Declines Assam Congress Ally's Plea To Delay Tamulpur Polls

Assam Elections 2021: Tamulpur will vote tomorrow as the state holds the third and final phase of assembly elections. The BPF is part of the Congress-led alliance - "Mahajoth".

Assam's Bodoland People's Front's petition (BPF) to postpone polling in Tamulpur - days after its candidate Rangja Khungur Basumatary defected to the BJP - was today turned down by the Supreme Court.  Tamulpur will vote tomorrow as the state holds the third and final phase of assembly elections. The BPF is part of the Congress-led alliance - "Mahajoth". Chief Justice SA Bobde this morning told the petitioner: "How can court interfere in the middle of elections? We will show you the door of Assam High Court." The petitioner then informed the court it was withdrawing the plea, and it will go the Gauhati High Court.
