The Centre, Assam government, and Ulfa signed a tripartite peace accord, excluding Ulfa (Independent). The accord discards Ulfa's original objective and protects the rights of indigenous people. It references the pending NRC matter. The accord includes a financial package and infrastructure development. Ulfa will disband, and talks are planned with the anti-talks faction. Concerns remain with the anti-talks faction of Ulfa and KLO. The peace process started in 2012, and this accord gives BJP an advantage in the upcoming polls.
