As the elections approach, various political parties in the BTC are intensifying their election-related activities. 

In this context, it has been observed that the BPF (Bodoland People's Front), led by former Chief Executive Member of the BTC, Hagrama Mohilary, is seemingly gaining popularity, surpassing the alliance of the UPPL (United People's Party Liberal) and BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party).
