Our government will be more powerful now as we promise to serve the people more even better than before. With Basanta Das's support who has already served as a minister earlier and is now the legislator of Mangaldoi, I hope BJP is able to bring forth positive changes in the region through the cooperation of the legislator", said CM Sarma.

"Now as Kamalakhya Dey has already resigned from his post, we aim to serve the people even better with his support. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to both MLAs on their decision." added CM Sarma.
