Assam CM To Enter In 9th Year Of Association With BJP, Says Pijush Hazarika
The Cabinet Minister said so days after BJP MLA from Guwahati East constituency Siddhartha Bhattacharya spoke about the roles of the veteran Assam BJP leaders.
While commenting on the alleged rift among the veteran BJP leaders with the present leaders, Hazarkia said, “I have already completed 9 years in BJP then how can I be new… on August 28, Himanta Biswa Sarma will also enter in the 9th year of his association with BJP… it will be a decade in next one year.”
The Cabinet Minister accepted that Siddhartha Bhattacharya was the person who introduced Himanta Biswa Sarma and him to the saffron party and if anything good has been done Bhattacharya should be proud and if anything has gone wrong he should take the onus.
Earlier, Pijush Hazarika took a jibe at veteran BJP leader Rajen Gohain’s remark on the Chief Minister over the delimitation process. While addressing a presser, Hazarika said, “Firstly what Rajen Gohain’s allegation of state government or Himanata Biswa Sarma’s interference in delimitation process in completely wrong and he will be in a better position to let people know.”
