Boro today said that people's mindsets have to be changed first, so as to usher in development in the region, adding that the BTC Secretariat will be working round the clock to serve the people. "The coming together of the BJP-UPPL-GSP proves that we want to serve people from all backgrounds and communities. In our opinion, there is no difference of community or religion. All should be able to have two square meals a day and live their lives in peace. We are not here to lead, but to serve."
