The current the political ambience in the State largely influenced the discussion.

"The BJP is 100 per cent sure of making it to the BTC administration. I did say that our alliance with the BPF was for five years, and the question of its renewal doesn't arise."

Talking to the media, Sonowal said, "We've briefed the performance of the State government in the past four-and-a-half years at the meeting. We've spelt out the schemes which we've completed successfully."

Dass, who was also present at the meeting, said, "Today's meeting laid special emphasis on the LACs (Legislative Assembly Constituencies) currently held by the AGP, but the regional party doesn't have a good grip on them. Our alliance with the AGP will continue. We've let the high command know that in the Assembly election we're going to wrest all the 12 LACs in the BTAD."

Meanwhile, BPF president Hagrama Mohilary on Friday asked the State BJP to make its stand clear on the alliance as the relations between the two parties seem to have turned soar. He said this while talking to the media in Kokrajhar.
