The Central government on January 27 signed an accord with the banned Assam-based insurgent group NDFB providing political and economic bonanza to the tribals, sans the outfit’s key demand of a separate Bodoland state or union territory.
PM Modi hailed the Bodo accord and the agreement to settle the members of Bru-Reang tribe in Tripura, terming them 'historic' successes of his government in this decade.
This is the third Bodo accord to be signed in the last 27 years when the violent movement for a separate Bodoland state claimed hundreds of lives, destruction of public and private properties.
