BJP Resolved Bodoland Issue, Brought Peace to Assam: JP Nadda

BJP president JP Nadda on Saturday said his party’s government at the centre and in Assam resolved the Bodoland issue and brought peace to the state.

Speaking to ANI, Nadda said, “The Bodoland agitation was going on for 50 years. Thousands of people and security persons were killed but no one was listening. It was Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s political will, Amit Shah’s strategy, and Sonowal implemented it in letter and spirit that the Bodoland territorial region issue was resolved and aspirations of the people of the land were accommodated and the identity of Assam was saved.”

He said that people who were armed were brought back into the mainstream by BJP and around 3000 people surrendered. “The surrendered people were given Rs 4 lakh and Rs 6000 per month for their rehabilitation for three years. Rs 1500 crore have to be spent on Bodoland re-settlement and we are going to spend on the development of their territorial region. The borders which were disturbed were strengthened,” he said.
