Rangiya (Assam), May 22 2009: Local Congress leaders today urged party supremo Sonia Gandhi not to give berth to Bodoland People's Front (BPF) MP Sansuma Khunggur Bwiswmuthiary in the new government at the Centre.

Congress Block Committee in Rangiya sent a fax to the UPA leader for excluding Bwiswmuthiary, the Kokrajhar MP, accusing him of being responsible for the defeat of Mangaldoi Congress candidate Madhab Rajbanshi. The local unit of the NSUI also sent a similar memorandum to the Congress chief.

The BPF is an ally of the ruling Congress in the state and has a minister in the Tarun Gogoi cabinet.
