Blank firing near BPF Office in Kokrajhar its a clear sign that in BTAD area the conducting poll will not be an uneasy task this time. No one knows who was the culprit.But one thing can be sure that there will be much bloodshed in coming days due to the party's engagement in capturing power whatever may be the situation.The Central and State government have to deploy extra paramilitary in hypersensitive areas like kokrajhar, chirang and Baksa.
