Guwahati: Members of an umbrella body of workers’ unions in Assam have pinned their hopes on state health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma becoming the next chief minister, instead of Sarbananda Sonowal’s return to the post. The reasons range from unkept promises to basic survival.
The Joint Action Committee of Recognised Unions (JACRU), the union body of the now-defunct Nagaon and Cachar paper mills, feels that Sonowal has betrayed them after promising that two mills will be reopened.
