Rubbishing rumours, Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday asserted that he will not be contesting the next state assembly elections and wants the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government to win the elections with over a hundred seats.

Taking it to Twitter, Sarma clarified he is not chasing any "post and position" and is only committed to work for the state and its people.

A tweet posted by Sarma read, "Few people feel that I am after some post and position. My only ambition is to see a BJP GOVT  with 100+ seats. In my last few months, I want to work for my state as much as possible to have eternal satisfaction. "Janani Janmabhumishcha Swargadapi Gariyasi"".

He further stated, "As I have already indicated in several public platforms that I am not interested in contesting the next assembly election, my role will be limited to contribute whatever I can for my party and for my state. For Assam's future, we need to have a strong nationalist government".
