Overview
- The All Bodo Students' Union and fellow signatories will hold a two-day programme in New Delhi, with a Constitution Club seminar on November 20 and a peaceful appeal at Jantar Mantar on November 21, marking ABSU’s first national mobilisation since the accord.
- A central demand is fast-tracking the Constitution (125th Amendment) Bill linked to Article 280 and the Sixth Schedule, which organisers say has stalled despite 2019 Cabinet clearance.
- Speakers plan to flag incomplete council restructuring, deferred village and municipal bodies, fiscal empowerment gaps, rehabilitation and legal-closure promises, cadre absorption, village delimitation and recruitment.
- Organisers also cite a largely unused Rs 1,500-crore Special Development Package as evidence of delays in execution.
- A broad delegation is slated to attend, including Tripura Tribal Welfare Minister Sukla Charan Noatia, former BTC chief Pramod Boro, MPs Amarsing Tisso and Jayanta Basumatary, and leaders from former NDFB factions and the Bodo Sahitya Sabha.
