Assam CM Tarun Gogoi unnoticed in Parl

November 27, 2015 15:07

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi was the centre of attraction in the Central Hall of Parliament today. As he was walking alone (without hangers-on) many Congress leaders could not recognise him.

When he took his seat in the first row, some MPs began to approach him. Numbers increased when his son Gaurav Gogoi and Sushmita Dev
another Assam Congress MP walked up to him. Several BJP MPs are first timers in Parliament and some faces are relatively unknown to them.
Tarun Gogoi was confident that the Congress will be victorious and for the fourth time he would become Chief Minister.

Gogoi wants the Centre to grant Scheduled Tribe status to six communities in the state which have been on the agitational path for a long time.
