Pramod Boro
GUWAHATI: United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) president Pramod Boro was sworn in as the new chief executive member of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) in Kokrajhar on Tuesday.
In his speech at the oath-taking ceremony at a jam-packed field at Bodofa Nwgwr in Kokrajhar, Boro recollected his days of struggle in the past which made him more resolute to live a pro-people life.
“Past is nostalgic and harsh but I have resolved to work hard. Like I was in hardship, thousands of youths are still facing difficult times even today in Bodoland Territorial Region. There are students who do not get scope to study, do not have enough to eat and wear. I was one of them and today I have resolved to serve them,” said Boro, who was administered the oath by chief secretary Jishnu Baruah in the absence of governor Jagdish Mukhi.
