Guwahati, April 9: United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) president and MP Pramod Boro cast his vote on April 9 at Polling Centre No. 105 in 2 No. Sauraguri LP School during the ongoing Assembly elections in Assam. After voting, he urged citizens to participate responsibly and uphold the democratic process.
Speaking to the media, Boro strongly condemned a recent incident of alleged election-related violence in Panbari village under the Tamulpur Assembly constituency. He alleged that miscreants linked to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) opened fire using an AK-47, leaving three UPPL workers seriously injured.
According to local sources, the incident reportedly occurred late at night during a confrontation linked to the alleged distribution of money from a vehicle associated with BJP candidate Biswajit Daimary. The injured workers—Dharanidhar Boro, Raju Boro, and Dinesh Boro—were initially given medical aid before being shifted to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital in Guwahati, where they are undergoing treatment.
Boro further alleged that the attack was carried out under the direction of Bijit Gwra Narzary and demanded a thorough investigation into the incident. He called on authorities to enhance security arrangements to ensure that voters can exercise their franchise without fear.
Earlier, the UPPL leader visited the site of the incident and expressed solidarity with the injured workers and their families. The episode has intensified political tensions in Tamulpur, with calls for strict action against those responsible.
Polling continues across the region under tight security, with election authorities appealing to voters to maintain peace and participate actively. Officials are yet to issue an official statement on the alleged incident.
