Bijni, Mar 27: Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) chief Hagrama Mohilary struck a confident and defiant tone during a party workers’ meeting at the Bijni district office, asserting that the party is firmly positioned to secure a clean sweep in key constituencies, while dismissing the impact of internal dissent and defections.

Addressing reporters in Bijni, Mohilary declared that Bijni remains a stronghold for the BPF and extended his confidence to a wider electoral landscape.

“Our party is strong. If someone wants to leave, they are free to go. If someone wants to join, they are welcome. The doors are always open,” he stated.

Taking a firm line against dissent within the party, the BPF chief downplayed the significance of leaders rebelling or breaking away.

Mohilary also reiterating that internal disagreements are common in politics but do not weaken the party’s foundation.

He also made a notable remark regarding seat expectations, hinting at his ambitions in seat-sharing or electoral outcomes.

The meeting, attended by local party workers and leaders, comes at a crucial time as political parties intensify groundwork ahead of the upcoming elections.
