	The poll to the legislative Assembly of Assam will have concluded with phase 3 polling. Polls are being held in the Bodo areas and the Bodoland People&rsquo;s Front, an erstwhile ally of the BJP has joined hands with the Congress this time.</div>
<div>

<div>
	This phase of the election is crucial for the Opposition Congress as it reckons it has an edge in the Bodo areas. On the other hand, the BJP has been working hard to reinforce its presence in these seats.</div>
