OUR CORRESPONDENT

KOKRAJHAR: The general secretary of Bodoland People's Front (BPF), Prabin Boro on Friday reiterated that the BJP was displaying double standard in the forthcoming BTC election and trying to create confusion among the voters.

In a press conference held in Kokrajhar on Friday, BPF party general secretary Prabin Boro said a booth-level president of BPF of Ghati in Baksa district, Pranjit Das was shot dead by unknown miscreants on Thursday evening at around 8 pm while he was watching television in his house. He also said that another BPF worker of Gossaigaon, Azijur Hoque was abducted by unknown miscreants and his body was recovered some days back. He said both the incidents were unfortunate and it could be a ploy of political ill-motives. He said that the BPF suspected that both were political murders and the government could have a hand in these killings.

Boro alleged that the culprits involved in the abduction and killing of Azijur Hoque of Gossaigaon could have been nabbed immediately but police did not take keen interest to find out the culprits. He demanded that those involved in the killing of Pranjit Das of Baksa should be arrested soon. He also alleged that the State Government could be using the Gana Suraksha Party (GSP) of MP Naba Kr. Sarania to create chaos in the BTC region.

Replying to questions, Boro said that the Governor's Rule was prevalent in BTC but despite this, killings were taking place. He said that the BJP was playing dual game in BTC. The relation between the BJP and BPF was going well in the State but the BJP was trying to wipe out the BPF from power in BTC. He added that the BPF would fight alone in the BTC election and also form the next council government.
