Bodoland hosts Assam Assembly Session for the first time
In a historic move, the Assam Assembly session is being held outside Guwahati for the first time. The first day of the budget session of the Assam Assembly will be held at the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) Assembly in Kokrajhar on Monday. Buses carrying Assam ministers and state legislators left for the BTC Assembly at Kokrajhar, where the first day of the budget session will be held. "Under the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, we are going to hold an assembly session in Kokrajhar for the first time. There was a situation 15 years back that people of Kokrajhar wanted a separate state but now they don't want it and they are welcoming us... It is a great initiative. It will be continued. "
Deputy Speaker of Assam Assembly Numal Momin said that it will send a very positive message of peace in Bodoland Territorial Area Area. "The message of all the MLAs is that after the BJP government came, peace has been restored in BTR (Bodoland Territorial Area), which was earlier a troubled area. We are having the Budget Session and the Governor's Address in Kokrajhar today. This will give a very good message to the people of Assam and PM Modi's dream of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas'. "
BJP MLA Mrinal Saikia said it was a great and historic day for Assam. "The Assam Assembly is going to be held in Kokrajhar... We will discuss the economic, socio-economic and all-round development of the six scheduled areas. This is very important... It will give a great message to all the people of Assam. AIUDF MLA Karim Uddin Barbhuiya said going out for the one-day assembly session was a great initiative. "This is a good initiative. This is happening for the first time in India where we are going out of the station and going to Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) territory. Everyone will praise the move as BTC was an underdeveloped sector. Earlier, there was insecurity in this area. Today it is in the mainstream. This will send a good message that the government is thinking about the development of the Bodo people. "
Congress MLA Abdur Rashid Mondal said, "This is a historic budget session which will start outside the capital. I think this will send a message to the people of the Sixth Schedule area. One of the main discussions today will be on the socio-economic and all-round development of the Sixth Schedule Areas. AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam said this was a sign of the ongoing peaceful resumption of the situation.
