Peace in BTR is BJP’s biggest achievement, says Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said bringing peace in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) is the single biggest achievement of the BJP government. Ever since there is a BJP government in Delhi and Dispur not a single person died owing to firing of bullets.

Sarma said this while addressing a party workers’ rally at Panbari in Chirang Assam’s district, “After Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister of India, the Bodoland Peace Accord was signed which brought in peace in BTR. The Bodoland Peace Accord was signed in 2020 by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I became the Chief Minister of Assam in 2021 and since then neither a single person died in BTR due to bullets nor any bomb blast has taken place here.”

He added, “About 4000 people have died in BTR due to violence. Uncountable numbers of houses have burnt down due to violence in BTR but BJP has restored peace here.”


BTR with 40 seats is expected to go to polls in September this year, BTR is the sixth schedule council under the Constitution.
Sarma said BJP wants to do a lot of work for the region. It is possible only when there is a BJP government in BTR.

He said that the people of the BTR have seen the governance of the Bodoland Peoples’ Front (BPF) and the United Peoples’ Party-Liberal (UPPL). “People have not seen a BJP government in BTR,” he said

While the UPPL, which is currently in power in the BTC, is an ally of the BJP led alliance in Dispur, the saffron party has decided to contest the BTC elections independently this time. BFT is supporting the BJP led government in Assam.
