What Happened
An Assam tribal organization called All Assam Sons of the Soil Indigenous Kochari Somaj urged indigenous communities to boycott or deny votes to the BJP ahead of April 9 elections. The group accused the BJP-led state government of neglecting tribal rights and attempting to weaken indigenous identity by granting Scheduled Tribe status to six communities without protecting existing tribes' privileges and rights.
