In the wake of recent political developments in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde and other party MLAs reached Guwahati airport from Surat on June 22. The Shiv Sena MLAs were received by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushanta Borgohain and BJP MP Pallab Lochan Das at Guwahati airport. The BJP leader said that he is unaware of any further programs. “I came to receive them (Shiv Sena MLAs from Surat, Gujarat). I have not counted how many MLAs have arrived. I came here for personal relations. They have not disclosed any program,” said Sushanta Borgohain.
