Former ULFA leader Naba Kumar Sarania’s party is an ally of the BJP in the Bodoland Territorial Council
After reaching out to activist-turned-politician Akhil Gogoi, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has been angling for a Member of Parliament to make inroads in Assam. Naba Kumar Sarania, a former area commander of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom, is a two-time MP representing the Kokrajhar constituency since 2014. Although listed as an independent parliamentarian, he is the chief of the regional Gana Suraksha Party (GSP) that is said to have an influence among more than 15 non-Bodo communities in parts of western and north-central Assam. “The TMC has sent feelers and we will have a meeting in September. But people are jumping the gun by saying I have joined the party that rules West Bengal,” Mr. Sarania told The Hindu.
