KOKRAJHAR, April 25 – In a significant political development ahead of the elections, former Deputy Speaker of the Bodoland Territorial Council Legislative Assembly (BTCLA) and senior BPF leader, Nerswn Boro, officially joined the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) during a brief induction ceremony held in Rangia on Thursday evening.
Boro, who was elected to the BTC Legislative Assembly in 2015, had held the position of Deputy Speaker during the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) government in the Bodoland Territorial Council. Until recently, he served as the President of the Bhergaon Block Committee of BPF, a post he relinquished along with the primary membership of the party just days ago.
