Northeast Democratic Alliance (NEDA) Convenor and BJP’s key man in the Northeast, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma at the launching of his fourth book stated that he does not want to contest the upcoming assembly election. He also said that he is not chasing a dream of becoming the Chief Minister.
“I am revealing it today that in 2020, on my birthday on February 1, I met BJP Assam president Ranjeet Kumar Dass and handed him my handwritten letter stating that I do not want to contest the 2021 assembly election. There is also a line in my letter that I will, however, abide by the directives given by my party,” Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma said at the event.
“I will come back again to contest elections, but not in 2021,” the Assam Minister added.
