Party decision is on street way in this period. Daimary also clarified that the candidate has changed for some allegation among in BPF party in the field of development.

Pramila Rani Brahma,MLA and vice president of the party said that the parliamentary election was becoming BPF very difficult for party to win so the party president Hagrama Mohilary selected Chandan Brahma as MP candidate from Kokrajhar and this selection is satisfactory for every common people in the constituency.
