A team of Bodoland Peoples' Front (BPF) on Wednesday called the stateelection commission and urged to conduct the BTC election.
Rajya Sabha MP Biswajit Daimary while briefing the media said, "TheGovernor's rule in the BTAD can't be the solution. The election which waspostponed due to the coronavirus outbreak should be conducted now as thesituation is normal in the BTC areas. No one is infected with COVID-19 in BTC. Theelection commission could conduct the election without permitting otherdistricts people to enter BTC areas."
He further stated that the election commission has assured to give a thoughton the issue. He said that as BTC is under 'Green Zone', the election could beconducted.
Daimary also informed that the UPPL has also not supported the Governor'srule in the area and that the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) will also meet thecommission to discuss the issue.
The BPF also alleged that during this hour of crisis, the people are deprived of getting the government benefits as the BTC is under the governor's rule. Therefore, the BPF demanded to conduct the election as soon as possible.
