Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said that Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma’s entry into BJP will put the people in utter confusion over the chief ministerial candidate.
Hours after Dr Sarma unofficially joined BJP, Gogoi said that if Sarma is made the chief ministerial candidate then what is in store for Sarbananda Sonowal and Siddharth Bhattacharya.
Talking to reports Gogoi wondered why and how Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma joined BJP a day after he was proud of his party’s victory in the Tiwa autonomous council polls.

Chief minister Tarun Gogoi has categorically refused to reshuffle his council of minister. Taking up a letter of request of the kind in the party's legislature body meeting in Dispur on Saturday, Gogoi said that the reshuffle is not required at this moment. He said that he was open for the excercise as situation warrants. He silently listened to the MLAs and ministers as they vented ire on the performance of a section of ministers. The 3 hour long meeting ended with a pledge to unitedly fight the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Then Gogoi left for Delhi to arrange his son's wedding ceremony.
A section of ministers has come in for sharp critism for alleged under performance. A circle of ministers and MLAs, known for waging war against Tarun Gogoi and a few of his trusted men, came down heavily on the non performing ministers. Those who vented anger agaist Gogoi's men were Pradan Barua, Piyush Hazarika. They were countered by Nilmonisen Deka. Anjan Dutta alleged that the ministers, mostly, have lost control over the officers and demanded steps to rein in this trend. Sarat Borkotoky also expressed concern over this uneasy trend.
A brainstorming legislature party meet of Assam Congress is trying to sort out differences among a section of ministers and MLAs.

The ministers and MLAs, known to be closed to dissident leader Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma were expected to vent open anger against chief minister and a few of his associates. But there is hardly any possibility in view of high command's instruction to keep quiet.

The chief minister also is in touch with some influential leaders to overpower the dissident camp. Senior MLAs Sarat Borkotoky and Anjan Dutta are likely to back Gogoi. But they want an immediate reshuffle in the council of ministers. Nobody from AICC is there in the meeting.
