State Finance Minister-cum-convener of North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) Himanta Biswa Sarma will not be contesting from the Tezpur constituency : BJP's Assam chief Ranjit Kumar Das said.
Attending the Holi festival in Barpeta Satra, Das said that "As the convener of North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) Himanta Biswa Sharma will look after the election campaigning of Assam and entire north-east."
Das also asserted that Himanta would abide by the decision of party high command.
It may be mentioned that BJP is still seen in dilemma over two seats, Nagaon and Tezpur.
