GUWAHATI: BJP national president JP Nadda on Monday said the Narendra Modi government had protected Assam’s territorial integrity as it solved the Bodo agitation for a separate state.
“The Bodo agitation had been going on for 50 years. Over 4,000 lives were lost. But after the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) Accord was signed (in January 2020), all groups of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland laid down weapons. In bringing them to the mainstream, the NDA government-protected Assam’s territorial integrity,” Nadda told a crowd kicking off the BJP’s Assam poll campaign in Silchar.
He made mention of the Rs 1,500 crore package which the Centre will give for the development of Bodo areas. The package was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Bodo heartland Kokrajhar in February last year.
