BJP is in a good position in Bodoland," Sarma said while addressing the media in Kokrajhar.
The Chief Minister also responded to questions regarding the future of the Village Council Development Committee (VCDC). "Whether VCDC should be scrapped or not will be decided only by the government that forms here. BJP is not the enemy of anyone," Sarma remarked.
