Saoraigwra has now urged for proper implementation of the clauses of the BTR accord as per the spirit of the historic accord.
He said that they were not much aware of the clauses and contents of the BTR accord as they were not given much time to study it before signing the accord .
Saoraigwra further said that his ambition is to win from Chirang constituency in the Bodoland Territorial Council elections.
He has also welcomed Dr. Anjali Daimary to the Bodoland Peoples’ Front (BPF) adding that her entry into the BPF would pave way for more integration within the party.
