The BJP governments in the state and the Centre have betrayed us and we will not stop short of anything but ST status even if Assam has to burn. It is to be noted that the 6 different communities are in OBC category of Assam, at present. The said Committee was formed in February, 2016 and it was expected to submit its report by May 31st, 2016. (Source: http://indianexpress.com/article/explained/demand-for-tribal-status-assam-3099402/ )The issue, today, is: why should not the question – whether PM Modi will betray Assam on his promise made in 2014 over the matter of granting ST status to the 6 OBC communities in Assam – be raised? The reply to this question will justify the commitment of the party that is, currently, ruling in Manipur, Assam and India, and the party is the same – the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party).
