One of the leading Newspaper of Assam "Asomiya Pratidin" Sunday issue (24th February) has been seen burnt down by the angry BPF Supporters at Kokrajhar on publishing of a news item on Transport Minister Chandan Brahma regarding the money spent in BTC Chief Hagrama Mahilary's marriage ceremony.
According to the newspaper, the marriage spending was over Rupees 4 crores which Minister Chandan Brahma conspired to spend to malign the image of the BTC Chief Hagrama Mahilary in front of the people of the BTC area, most of whom still sleep with just one-meal-a-day.

BTC chief should spend more money on development and not on his own marriage. Can he tell people from where he got all the money during the wedding party. There is no doubt that these all part of peoples money. Because if he can earn in crores then he will be one of the leading rich person from the region. Instead of burning the newspaper the people should ask him from where he is getting money and even if he has he must use it for the development not for personnel interest.

The BTC chief had done very great mistake, by spending such a big amount of money in his marriage, he may would have use those money in establishing some industries or factories, where the unemployed people may would have got jobs, many bodo youths are taking wrong paths because of unemployment, literate and rich bodos are sending their sons and daughters outside the district and state because of unemployment. Mr. BTC chief should have think about all that before spending the money. Anyway, he should not continue this mistake any more, hope he will.
