He further said, “As every Indian believes PM Narendra Modi’s guarantee, likewise I too give you a guarantee, though not as big as Modiji’s”.
The Assam CM has been in talks with some district level Congress leaders including Dwipen Barua, state secretary of Assam Congress. He said that all of them have expressed their wish to join the BJP.
“This indicates that people of Assam have complete faith on Narendra Modi’s policy and good governance.” Sarma said.
Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra he said, “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra has proved that it has started a new Yatra of making Congress empty. And you will see many things by 2024. After that there will be only one political party, we’ll be together and work together.”
Referring to Sarma’s previous statement, all the candidates of Assam Congress, except one, will now or later join.
When reporters asked about the candidates who are willing to join BJP he said, “I can call even the MP Candidate of Kaziranga, Roslina Tirki but I won’t do it today. They are like my family member. They will be called whenever, however we wish.”
Bringing reference of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC)’s President Bhupen Bora’s joining BJP he said, “I have been repeatedly telling about his joining, but he never commented on this. While you started asking him, now he is denying. But it is sure that after MP elections Bhupen Bora will also join BJP.”
When reporters asked about Bhupen Bora’s statement regarding being the next CM of Assam, Sarma said, “He may be the CM of Assam, but from platform of BJP. Whatever post he might get, he’ll get it from BJP’s platform.”
