Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Bhupen Bora has targeted Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma by asking him not to become 'Chief Mafia' over the case of a BJP MLA allegedly grabbing a coke plant. "BJP MLA doing Mafiagiri during BJP rule, under the watchful eyes of the CM!" Targeting the Chief Minister further, Bora said, "As per rules, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma would be the Chief Minister as long as he has the people's mandate. The story created a storm with the opposition Congress and Raijor Dal parties targeting the Chief Minister over the matter. Yesterday Raijor Dal chief and Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi had raised the issue during a press meet and had demanded that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma intervene in the issue.
