Bodo People's Progressive Front (BPPF) is a political organization in Assam formed on April 12, 2005 for participation in the BTAD elections. The party consisted of erstwhile members of ABSU and BLTF.

[edit] Split

The party suffered a vertical split with the erstwhile ABSU members forming the Rabiram Narzary fraction (BPPF(R)), and the erstwhile members of BLTF forming the Hagrama Mohilary fraction (BPPF(H)) [1].

[edit] BPPF(H)

The Hagrama fraction aligned with the INC in the April 2006 elections for the Assam Assembly and won 11 seats. It became the junior partner in the Assam government. This was a historical occasion since the Bodo's, long associated with the Bodoland statehood movement, are now sharing power in Dispur, the capital of Assam.

[edit] BPPF(R)

The Rabiram fraction, aligned with the AGP in the April 2006 elections, did not win any seats in the Assam Assembly.
