“Few people feel that I am after some post and position. My only ambition is to see a BJP GOVT with 100+seats. In my last few months, I want to work for my state as much as possible to have eternal satisfaction. “Janani Janmabhumishcha Swargadapi Gariyasi,” Sarma wrote in a tweet.
In another tweet, Sarma mentioned that he is not interested in contesting the polls, his role will be limited and to contribute whatever he can for the party and the state.
“As I have already indicated in several public platform that I am not interested in contesting next assembly election, my role will be limited to contribute whatever I can for my party and for my state. For Assam future we need to have a strong nationalist govt,” Sarma said.
