KOKRAJHAR: Bodo National Students Union (BONSU) on Tuesday submitted a memorandum to the Assam Governor through DC, Kokrajhar demanding inquiry in to the alleged corruption, misgovernance and misappropriation of funds by council leaders and bureaucrats in BTC especially from 2020 to 2025. The memorandum was also sent to Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Vice-President of the BONSU Hem Chandra Basumatary said that there had been deep-rooted corruption, scams, and misgovernance prevailing in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) over the years, particularly since 2020 and there was a growing outcry among the public over the large-scale misappropriation of public funds, lack of transparency, irregularities in developmental schemes, and abuse of administrative powers in the BTC area. He said that these corrupt practices were undermining the development of the region, depriving rightful beneficiaries of government welfare schemes, and breeding resentment and injustice. He also said that in a recent news published in a news channel on May 16, regarding the sending of a legal notice dated May 8 issued by Laland Associates on behalf of Vijay Kumar Gaur, has raised a serious concern about Bodoland Territorial Council’s first biggest organized scam of Rs 4 crore where the BTC administrations, books publishers, government officials, and politicians were directly or indirectly involved.
