Former Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Friday moved to Delhi. This is Sonowal's first visit to Delhi after the formation of the Assam government.
Sarbananda Sonowal is likely to participate in the high-level meeting of BJP in the national capital. He was being called upon by the high command and accordingly, Sonowal has flown to Delhi through a Vistara flight.
Sonowal was accompanied by Minister Pijush Hazarika and will call upon the Union Water Resource minister to discuss the flood situation of the state.
Himanta Biswa Sarma after taking oath as the Chief Minister said that taking into account the preceding chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal's past experiences at the state and Centre level, the top BJP leadership will now give new responsibilities to him.
However, the Chief Minister said that he is not aware of the party leadership's plans on the responsibilities decided for Sonowal.
The Chief Minister said at a press conference, "When Sonowal and I had our last meeting with Naddaji (BJP president J P Nadda), he told us that Himanta will be the chief minister for the next five years while Sonowal will be given a new responsibility. I believe the central leadership will take a decision about Sonowal."
