In the hill districts of Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao in Assam, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) maintains a stronghold, controlling all assembly seats. However, recent delimitation has added a new seat, intensifying competition. The BJP's dominance is challenged by rising tensions between the Karbi and non-Karbi communities, particularly as settlers from other regions are perceived to outnumber the indigenous population. Political dynamics are shifting, with Congress fielding Nandita Garlosa, a former cabinet minister, in the Haflong constituency, while the BJP has nominated Rupali Langthasa. The All Party Hill Leaders Conference, allied with Congress, is also contesting two seats. Recent violent clashes over alleged illegal land encroachments have further fueled dissatisfaction among tribal communities, raising concerns for the BJP as it navigates these complex socio-political landscapes ahead of elections.
