Why Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma is in a haste to join BJP? Political observers are straight in their comments. He is believed to have unofficially joined BJP in the face of two huge scams that put him in dire straights.
Very recently, BJP parliamentary board called him the key suspect in the Louis Berger scam only a month back. A CID enquiry is in progress which will unearth the real story.
The Central Bureau of Investigation probing the chit fund scam has already grilled Dr Sarma on the basis of the purported letter by Saradha chiefSudipto Sen. CBI has yet to file the charge-sheet.

Now that he joined bjp to save himself for all the scams it will be all the more difficult to prove. He is an opportunist and that's what we don't like. It was bjp who was most vocal about his corruption. Why have they accepted him now? Shouldn't Assam produce more leaders? He already has enough: TV channel, newspaper, guest house, stashed cash and what not. We need honest leaders not tainted. You are spreading the propaganda. Bada aya.

Guwahati: The much-hyped Congress-AIUDF alliance to beat BJP in 2021 assembly polls hits a major road block when a recent AICC survey suggested otherwise.
The survey has predicted the dismal performance of the party in 2021 assembly polls and that the party would be decimated in upper Assam if the party openly strikes an alliance with AIUDF. But it would help the grand old party consolidate the minority votes in lower and central Assam zones.
The survey further suggested a secret alliance just before the polls in lower Assam, central Assam and Barak valley. But in Barak valley, the senior Congress leaders have been opposing such deal with AIUDF.
The survey further suggested an...
