Condemning the former rulers Bodoland People's Front (BPF), Sarma said that the prevailing atmosphere in the region is so foul that nobody can set foot without facing some kind of confontation. "Whenever we, BJP leaders, come here, we are shown black flags. However, we will have to put an end to that. People do not get jobs here based on merit. Government jobs are handed out based on the names written on a piece of paper carried around by ex-Chief Hagrama Mohilary."

Sarma, during his address, assured that these issues will be rectified once the BJP party comes to power in the region.
