Himanta’s date with Gogoi

Hardly a week after his patch-up with chief minister Tarun Gogoi, Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma is desperately trying to refurbish his image with a slew of measures to jack up the ruling party.

Dr Sarma who along with Anjan Dutta met Gogoi at his Koinadhara residence on Wednesday morning told reporters that he had suggested some measures which he thinks would help the party retain power in Dispur.  

The chief minister is understood to have heard Dr Sarma patiently and assured him of the steps to implement the suggestions. 

Notably, Assam Times broke the story of how the duo mended the differences at the initiative of a senior Guwahati based journalist a couple of days back. The former cabinet minister is understood to have agreed to work aggressively to ensure poll victory for the fourth consecutive term.
