The ruling BJP in Assam almost turned the swearing-in ceremony of the new Bodoland Territorial Council members in Kokrajhar on Tuesday into a campaign for the 2021 Assembly polls.
The ruling party, which emerged as the kingmaker in the recent BTC polls by ending Bodoland People’s Front’s 17-year reign, still seemed to be in poll mode, which was evident from the speeches of cabinet minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal.
Apart from urging the people to support the newly appointed BTC chief Pramod Boro, the two leaders slipped in what the state government intended to do in the next few months for the welfare of the people living in the council area.
