In a significant political development, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited former state Congress president Bhupen Borah at his residence in the Ghoramara area of Guwahati. The meeting comes amidst Borah's recent resignation from the Congress, which the party's leadership has yet to accept.
Greeted with traditional 'aarti' by Borah's family, Sarma's visit signals potential political shifts, as the BJP extends a welcoming hand to Borah. The Chief Minister has publicly stated that the BJP's doors are open for Borah, offering support to secure a 'safe seat' in upcoming assembly polls.
