The statement of Himanta Biswa Sarma came after Pradyut Bordoloi alleged Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal’s involvement in the coal syndicate at Margherita of Tinsukia district.

Replying to media persons’ question on the statement made by the Congress MP, Sarma said, “Who is Pradyut Bordoloi, I don't know him. So, I will not be able to comment on anything related to Pradyut Bordoloi. I have to look up in Wikipedia who is Pradyut Bordoloi.”
