A viral photo circulating on social media has sparked a political storm after members of the Pramod Boro-led United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) were found reclining on what appears to be a substantial pile of Rs 500 notes.
The individuals in the photograph have been identified as Anthony Narzary and Johnny Boro. The image has gained traction on social media platforms, adding fuel to the fervor of the ongoing election season.
The UPPL party, helmed by Bodoland CEM Pramod Bodo, has publicly committed to refraining from corruption. This incident, however, raises questions about the party’s integrity and adherence to its anti-corruption stance.
The UPPL initially emerged as a political force opposing corruption, positioning itself in contrast to the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) led by Hagrama Mohilary. The UPPL is an ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam.
As Assam gears up for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, the BJP is contesting 11 seats, while its allies Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the UPPL are contesting 3 seats. This viral photo adds an unexpected twist to the political landscape, raising concerns and drawing attention to the principles and actions of the parties involved.
