The party also became the 3rd largest party behind [[Indian National Congress|INC]] and [[All India United Democratic Front|AIUDF]], and this was considering the fact that the party had only contested 29 seats. Ahead of the [[2016 Assam Legislative Assembly election|2016 Assam legislative election]] the party joined the [[National Democratic Alliance]]. The party was assigned 16 seats as per the agreement and won the same 12 seats. Despite just winning 12 seats the party had the best winning percentage and was part of the government in Assam. Then in 2021 the party left [[National Democratic Alliance]] and joined the [[United Progressive Alliance]] ahead of the [[2021 Assam Legislative Assembly election|2021 Assam election]]. The party was assigned 12 seats and only ended up winning 4 seats, later the party decided to formally announced its departure from [[United Progressive Alliance]], due to poor performance in the election.
