KOKRAJHAR: Former Bodoland People's Front (BPF) leader Biswajit Daimary today slammed former Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) Chief Hagrama Mohilary for accusing him of taking money from "supervisers" in return for jobs and said that Hagrama has no knowledge about the goings-on in his own Council.

Lambasting Mohilary for his accusations of corruption, Daimary said that the "supervisers" of the Social Welfare Department that he has been accused of taking money from, have not received money as they have not received regular appointments even though they sat for exams. "Later, I went to Delhi and after talks with the Centre, managed to gain approval for the regularization of jobs. Later, we were asked to hold exams for these posts where the contractual employees would get the priority. The exams have not been held yet," Daimary said, adding that the lives of these supervisers have been imperiled as they have been deprived of their salaries.

Responding to Hagrama Mohilary's claim that Himanta Biswa Sarma would lose his Ministerial post after the election in the Council, Daimary said, "These words are not suitable as politics is not like that. In the BTC, te concerns should be different, All the communities should benefit from the developmental initiatives and all problems should be resolved. The issues of land should be resolved. All the schemes -- of both State and Centre -- should be implemented. The houses sanctioned by the Centre should be built on time. The funds allocated to the BTC should be used for development. Bright students should get students. Those are the real issues. However, Hagrama is diverting from the real issues and speaking about irrelevant issues.

Daimary also stated that the BJP's policies, if it indeed comes to power, have been laid out in the election manifesto. "All our proposed schemes have been laid out in the manifesto," Daimary said, adding that the BJP intends to implement all the schemes that have been earmarked for the region.
