Assam Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is set to be crowned as the next chief minister of the state as the Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition won the assembly elections this year. The decision was taken after the BJP tilted the scales in favour of a leadership change in Assam. Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma were on Friday called to New Delhi by the BJP central leadership apparently to discuss the leadership issue of the next government.
