Assam Chief Minister and NEDA Convener Himanta Biswa Sarma on February 8 said that there is no doubt that Deputy Chief Minister of the state Jishnu Dev Varma would win the election.
While participating in the poll campaign of Dev Varma at Charilam, NEDA Convener said, “There is no doubt that Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma will win the election. In 2018 I couldn’t visit the Charilam Assembly. This is for the first time the MLA of Charilam is the Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister which is a big thing for the assembly and this has been possible because of the BJP government”.
He also criticized the CPIM government for ignoring the Charilam Assembly Constituency and said, “CPIM has never worked for the Charilam Assembly in last 25 years and you people know what Jishnu Dev Varma has done in last five years”.
