For better or worse this replacement of Ranjan Daimary from the post of Chairman of NDFB by the NDFB leaders is just another calamity in Boro histry.
Common Boro people are simply puzzled and who knows where will fate lead them to?
if it's realy fact, the split in the NDFB will only lead to further killings of Bodo intellectuals in the coming days. After all, it's a shame to the entire bodo community to see getting lost on the half-way to destiny.
