The dissident MLAs from Maharashtra are staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati beginning from June 22. According to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, neither the governing BJP nor the Assam government would be paying their bills.
The Assam chief minister also detached himself from the Maharashtra political upheaval. “Why should one care if the BJP is supported in Maharashtra or not. The only thing that worries me is that visitors who have come to Assam should be staying safely and comfortably. Even if Congress shows up tomorrow, I will extend the same welcome “Sarma said.
Shiv Sena legislators’ hotel bills are on the rise as fears mount that tax payer money will be used to pay for them. Assam’s Chief Minister has dismissed all these rumors by saying, “Neither BJP nor Assam will foot the bill. Instead, Assam will earn GST revenue”, he added.
38 dissident MLAs are camped in Guwahati, but the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government is still putting up a valiant battle.
