GUWAHATI, June 18: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday met former Union Minister Bijoya Chakraborty at Gauhati Medical College Hospital, where she is undergoing treatment for various age-related problems.
“Visited GMCH to enquire about former MP Smt Bijoya Chakraborty’s health condition. Affable as ever, Bijoya Baideu was in high spirits and I hope she will get better soon,” the Chief Minister posted on X.
He instructed the doctors to take ‘all necessary care so that she recovers at the earliest.”
The 85-year-old veteran BJP leader had served as the minister of state for water resources in the Atal Behari Vajpayee government from 1999-2004.
