Chief minister-elect Himanta Biswa Sarma being feliciated by BJP’s Assam observer Narendra Singh Tomar in Guwahati on Sunday
GUWAHATI: Assam’s chief minister-designate Himanta Biswa Sarma’s life speaks volumes of how he wrote his destiny in his own way from a tender age. At the age of 52, he achieved it, but not without his due share of ups and downs.
Himanta made a mark early in his life as a child artiste in Assamese movies and went on to become the errand boy for Aasu leaders during anti-foreigner’s movement. In between he would double as a ball boy of Assam Police football team only to get himself a front row view of the game.
