The UPPL has demanded apology from Bora for his comments and warned that they will take legal help to take action on his allegations over UPPL president without proof.
It is to be mentioned that APCC president Bhupen Bora on Friday said UPPL president and CEM of BTC, Pramod Boro was a student leader turned politician. Bora said Pramod Boro led the Bodoland movement with the demand of divide Assam 50:50 but now he has turned in to divide money 50:50 after coming to power.
Addressing the reporters at a press conference held at party office here, UPPL general secretary and political secretary to CEM, Madhab Chandra Chetry, said the APCC president Bhupen Bora’s remarks on the president of UPPL was misleading. He said UPPL had nothing to say on their agenda to strengthen the party base of Congress but instead of doing party works, Bora targeted Pramod Boro in his Kokrajhar visit. He demanded that Bora must seek apology for his remarks on suspicion. He said the regional politics was not weak as Bora’s claim.
UPPL led by Pramod Boro had been working for peace and equal development of all communities. He said BTR has witnessed a new change under Pramod Boro and the region has got peace among all. He said during congress region, BTC region was not as of today. The CM of Assam Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma has been giving special interest for the development of BTC.
He said that UPPL party said that the UPPL-BJP-GSP alliance government in BTR is working dedicatedly towards the welfare and development of the citizens since it’s inception in the government.
UPPL party is committed to work for all round development of the region and emphasizing for bringing healthy integration cutting across the communities.

Congress party is a power hunger political party and accordingly it has been making unsuited statement to attract the common people”, he said.
” Congress party is a corrupted party. People of Assam faced severe crisis situation during the 15 Year Rule from 2001 to 2016 in the state of Assam. Congress party neither thought for the welfare nor development of the common masses, they only thought for their political benefits and accordingly deprived from healthy developmental aspects”, he added.
On purchasing of lands by UPPL leaders in Delhi, Bangalore and other cities of India, Chetri said there was no proof of purchasing lands by UPPL leaders but it is nothing but just propaganda aired by BPF leaders. The BPF was involved in massive corruption, he said adding that Pramod Boro has brought reformed and transformed the council and has established democracy in BTC.
On the desertion of senior UPPL leader Moinul Hoque and his subsequent join in BPF, Chetri said everybody has right to choose their way in politics but being ex student leader of ABMSU, he should have patient for some times with UPPL which is giving importance towards the issues of different communities.
Replying to queries on rejecting the permission of holding party meeting of Congress at Bodofa Cultural Complex in Kokrajhar, he said there had been no objection for holding any programme by any organization or party but the seeking permission by Congress was not in time for issuing permission.
