KOKRAJHAR, Jan 4: The Chief Executive Member of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), Hagrama Mohilary, on Sunday laid the foundation stone for the construction of a Girls’ Hostel at Bineswar Brahma Engineering College (BBEC), Bijulibari near Chandrapara in Kokrajhar.

Addressing the media during the event, Mohilary said that the Assam Assembly elections are likely to be held in April, before Bihu, but no decision has been made yet regarding seat-sharing among NDA allies. He emphasised that the BPF will seek more seats in the upcoming elections, stating, “We should not demand fewer seats. Later there may be adjustments and compromises, but we should not start by asking for less.”
He also clarified that there is no question of an alliance between BPF and UPPL in the BTC. While the BPF has no objection to NDA arrangements at the state or national level, Mohilary said such an alliance would not be acceptable in BTC. He reiterated that he would step down if any such alliance were formed locally.
