The nomination for the upcoming Lok Sabha election has already begun, where the CM accompanied Sarbananda Sonowal for filing his nomination from Dibrugarh LS seat yesterday in Dibrugarh. 

Addressing the press Sarma said that considering the number of shuffles that has happened in the congress party, where it is seen that quite a number of congress members were seen joining the BJP party. 

He stated, "the number of people that are joining the BJP from Congress, it can be said that there will be an abundance of empty rooms in the Rajiv Bhaewan but no candidate to sit in those. Such is the environment prevailing in Assam."
