After casting his vote, the UPPL party President spoke to the media and said, “In the last 17 years, Hagrama Mohilary has done nothing for the poor and deprived people of Bodoland, rather he shammed them in every possible way.
Irrespective of caste, religion, and creed people be it Assamese, Rabha, Bodo, Hindu, Muslim, Christian have come from different parts of the North-Eastern states just to cast their vote.
Everyone wants change, several people have been calling me from yesterday night informing me that they are traveling from Jorhat, Shillong, Guwahati, West Bengal just to cast their vote.”
