Guwahati: The ordeal is far from over for Promod Boro-led Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC). The Gauhati High Court on Tuesday has ordered for a composite floor test by December 26, which means Promod Boro will have to prove his majority. Making things worse for Boro, the order has put a stay on the appointment of the nominated members, they will not be able to vote during the floor test and cannot participate in the election of the Chief Executive Member. The Court has barred the Council from taking any policy decision.
GUWAHATI: A day after the Gauhati High Court ordered “status quo” on the formation of the new executive council of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) after hearing a challenge petition filed by former chief executive member (CEM) and BPF leader Hagrama Mohilary, the party on Saturday announced that it has decided to sit in the opposition.
The court will be hearing the matter again on December 22, but BPF general secretary, Prabin Boro, said, “BPF has decided that it will sit in the opposition and will take part in the council as an active opposition in the greater interest of the people of Bodoland Territorial Region.”
