“A delegation of the All Adivasi Ex-Militant United Group met me today and talked to me about different issues. I have informed them that their grievances would be properly submitted to Hon’ble Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma Dangoriya,” Hazarika stated after the meeting.
The exchange occurs at an important juncture when the government of the state is still making efforts towards peace, rehabilitation, and development of the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR). A number of Adivasi militant groups have already inked peace agreements with the government, and negotiations are on to ensure sustainable rehabilitation and socio-economic empowerment of their cadres.
In the evening, Hazarika also went through preparations for the latter BJP Karyakarta Sammelan in Udalguri to be addressed by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The event is likely to attract massive turnout from BJP workers from Bhairabkunda and Dhansiri Mandals.
Optimistic about the event, Hazarika stated that the Sammelan would give a boost to party workers and further consolidate the BJP’s grassroots outreach in BTR. “Our karyakartas are functioning hand in hand with the people to take BTR’s development trajectory forward. I am certain that this Sammelan will further lift the spirits of our workers,” he said.
