Synopsis The 2015 elections shows BPF facing stiff competition from various other political parties as contrast to their domination in the last two elections. This time the BJP and AIUDF too fielded their candidates in the elections. The BJP tried hard to gain the ground by conducting a high voltage campaign, but the party had to satisfy itself by winning only one seat out of 40 seats, while AIUDF won 4. Most of the competition to BPF came from non-Bodo candidates, and the Peoples Coordination for Democratic Rights (PCDR). PCDR, formed by the All Bodoland Student Union (ABSU), Bodoland Peoples Progressive Front (BPPF)—in collaboration with the Pro-talk National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), contested the elections as an independent party. PCDR came out of the Bodo community, who claims it as a response to the widespread corruption by the BPF party, and its dictatorship in the governing process. The PCDR, which contested as an independent, had snatched seven seats from the BPF. While the ruling Indian National Congress in Assam could not win even a single seat.
