Guwahati, Mar 25 (IBNS) Ahead of the Assembly polls in Assam, the Bharatiya Janata Party faces a jolt as United Liberation Front of Asom has accused its leaders of using ULFA cadres for political murders., media reports said.

Paresh Baruah-led Ulfa (I) has hit out at BJP chief ministerial candidate Sarbananda Sonowal and party leader Himanta Biswa Sarma.
