Commemorating the Bodo leader, the ABSU has decided to illuminate 5 lakh earthen lights/candle lights on May 1 at 5.30 pm in every household and public place across Assam and the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR).The BTR, which comprises five districts of Assam, is administered by the BTC.“Bodofa Upendranath Brahma dedicated his life to building an inclusive society where people could live with dignity and secure their rightful place. His ideas continue to guide generations towards peaceful change and collective progress,” the ABSU president said at a press conference.He also said the naming of a road and the installation of the Bodofa’s statue in the heart of Delhi was a proud moment, for it stands as a lasting tribute to the latter’s work and ideals.He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his blessings, Shah for taking forward the longstanding demand of ABSU and the Bodos, and the Assam CM for his constant support in making this tribute possible.“The recognition highlights Bodofa’s impact and his efforts to empower communities. The event will bring together leaders, citizens, and students to honour his life, principles, and enduring influence,” the student leader added.
