NEW DELHI: Incumbent chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal and health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma have reached New Delhi few minutes ago.
The duo have now arrived at the residence of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda and likely to take part in a face to face meeting with him.
The issue of next chief minister of Assam will be discussed by the party's central parliamentary board today.
Both Sonowal and Himanta left for New Delhi in a chartered flight this morning to report before the BJP’s central parliamentary board.
The Central Parliamentary Board wants to take the final call on the next chief minister of Assam after meeting them personally.
Both are not only qualified and have done exceedingly well in the past five years in the administration as well as election results.
The duo left for New Delhi in the same aircraft. They were accompanied by Naharkatia MLA Taranga Gogoi, who is known as shadow of Sarma.
It is expected that the name of the chief minister of Assam will be announced by the afternoon so that a low key swearing in ceremony can be organized on Sunday next.
