BJP begins internal consultation on next Assam Chief Minister
The Hindu
Campaign powerhouse Himanta Biswa Sarma is seen as a contender
The BJP on Monday indicated that central observers may be sent to Assam in a day or two even as internal consultation on how to determine who would be the next Chief Minister has already begun. The BJP returned to power in Assam with Sarbananda Sonowal as Chief Minister but his colleague and campaign powerhouse Himanta Biswa Sarma is also seen as a contender for the chair, with the BJP never clearing the air during the polls that Mr. Sonowal would continue at the helm. That ambiguity even from senior leaders through the campaign fuelled speculation that change might be in the air. BJP sources said its parliamentary board may soon name central observers to preside over the meeting of its newly elected party MLAs in Guwahati where they will pick their leader.
