Pramod Boro Critiques Hagrama Mohilary Ahead of State Elections
Boro's Strong Criticism of Leadership
Bijni/Chirang, Mar 6: As the State Assembly elections draw near, Pramod Boro, the president of the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), has launched a fierce critique of Hagrama Mohilary's leadership. He accused the former chief of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) of lacking coherent policies and managing his party through a syndicate-driven approach.
Boro made these statements during an event at the UPPL district office in Bijni, where he was honored by the Bijni district committee following his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections.
“The syndicate money from Srirampur and funds from job sales only serve their own interests, not those of the public. For 17 years, they operated the party through syndicates,” Boro remarked. He further claimed that funds allocated in the BTC budget frequently ran out under the previous administration.
Emphasizing the UPPL's achievements during its time in office, Boro asserted that the party managed public finances more effectively.
“We have left behind Rs 300 crore, while they accumulated a debt of Rs 3,000 crore over 17 years. They lack even the fundamental knowledge required to govern. Although they won elections, they cannot implement the necessary policies for development,” he added.
Regarding his Rajya Sabha nomination, Boro stated that he intends to address the challenges faced by the people of Bodoland, Assam, and the entire Northeast in Parliament.
“The UPPL has worked for the people of Bodoland. We will strive to raise any issues affecting the people, whether from Bodoland, Assam, or the Northeast,” he said.
Earlier that day, the UPPL organized a motorcycle rally throughout Chirang district as part of its election outreach efforts.
The rally commenced from Kajalgaon, the district headquarters of Chirang, with Boro leading the procession.
“For the past month, we have been conducting rallies across the 15 constituencies of Bodoland, and this will continue. There was a time when Bodos and non-Bodo individuals faced numerous issues related to religion and ethnicity. During the UPPL's five-year tenure, we resolved many of these problems, but they have resurfaced since the new government took office,” Boro stated.
He affirmed that the party would persist in its political journey to instigate change in Bodoland and declared that the UPPL is ready to contest 15 seats in the upcoming elections.
“We are prepared for 15 seats, and the public is encouraging us to run independently, so we stand with the people,” Boro concluded.
Boro expressed optimism that the party's outreach initiatives and ongoing engagement with voters would bolster its position ahead of the forthcoming Assembly elections, as the UPPL aims to broaden its political influence in the Bodoland area.
