The ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including BTC Chief Hagrama Mohilary, Assam Cabinet Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah, BTC Legislative Assembly Speaker Tridip Daimary, and Deputy Chief Executive Member Rihon Daimary.
The Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), led by Hagrama Mohilary, has formed the new government after securing a clear majority of 28 seats in the recently concluded BTC elections. This marks the party’s independent return to power and reinforces its dominant political position in the region.
The formation of the new Executive Council comes at a crucial time for the BTR as the administration seeks to advance development, strengthen peace, and ensure equitable representation under the post-accord framework of the Bodoland Territorial Region.
