Assam finance Himanta Biswa Sarma said that massive victory of BJP and allies is for protection of culture and civilisation of Assam. People have reposed their trust on the development work initiated by Prime minister, Narendra Modi.
Himanta Biswa Sarma loves being the centre of attention, and has never shied away from working for it. That’s how he rose from student leader to BJP’s star in Assam. In his long political career, he has met defeat only once, in 1996, when he contested on a Congress ticket from Jalukbari.
Five years later, when he won a seat, CM Tarun Gogoi kept him on the bench for a year before inducting him as a minister of state. Sarma played second fiddle until 2015, when he challenged Gogoi’s leadership, but Congress chief Sonia Gandhi persuaded him to step back. When BJP poached him to breach Congress’ bastion, he steered the party to its first win in Assam in 2016, and became Amit Shah’s favourite. After that, he engineered the induction of BJP governments, alone or in alliance, in all the seven northeast states.
Even during campaigning, the party had avoided questions if the incumbent chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, will be given a second term. It had maintained that the parliamentary board will decide the chief minister after the election.
