Guwahati/New Delhi, 18 March (HS): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to witness a fresh wave of inductions in the state, with several leaders expected to join the party in the next two to three days ahead of the Assembly elections.

Highlighting the party’s preparations for the upcoming elections, the Chief Minister said that many more leaders like Talukdar are ready to join the BJP, and the party is moving swiftly towards finalizing its electoral strategy.

He also clarified that the ongoing political realignments are not limited to a single event, noting that more leaders from across Assam are expected to join the BJP within the next few days.

When asked about specific individuals, including Congress leader Imran Masood, Sarma refrained from making detailed comments, stating that he would not like to comment on any particular person.------
