Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had been on Friday referred to as to New Delhi by the BJP central management, apparently to talk about in regards to the management concern of the subsequent authorities, 5 days after the saffron party-led alliance emerged victorious within the meeting elections, sources mentioned.
Sonowal, who belongs to Assam’s indigenous Sonowal-Kachari tribals, and Sarma, the convenor of the North East Democratic Alliance, are anticipated to have a gathering with BJP president J P Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP common B L Santhosh and others on Saturday, they mentioned.
However, it’s instantly not recognized whether or not Prime Minister Narendra Modi can be current within the assembly, they added. “Sonowal and Sarma will depart for New Delhi on Saturday for discussions on the formation of the subsequent authorities,” Assam BJP spokesperson Rupam Goswami told PTI. The meeting with Nadda is scheduled at 10:30 a.m., party sources said.
The BJP is also yet to hold a meeting of its parliamentary board, which normally decides key issues like who will be the chief minister of a state. The BJP had not announced a chief ministerial candidate before the March-April polls in Assam.
In the 2016 elections, the BJP had projected Sonowal as its chief minister and won the election, forming the first saffron party government in the Northeast. The BJP has been maintaining that it would decide who would be the chief minister of Assam after the elections.
In the results announced for the 126-member Assam assembly last Sunday, the BJP won 60 seats and its alliance partners AGP 9 and UPPL six seats.
