Deka left the councillors' meeting after Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma
announced Mrigen Sarania's appointment as Mayor of GMC.
Furthermore,
West Guwahati MLA Ramendra Narayan Kalita voiced his displeasure with the Chief
Minister's decision to select BJP's Mrigen Sarania as Mayor and Smita Roy as
Deputy Mayor.
Kalita told the reporters that they wanted the Deputy Mayor
to come from the AGP. "We would have been pleased if the Deputy Mayor had
been chosen from AGP." They picked the name BJP since they have a larger
number of supporters. The seats have been distributed with mutual understanding
because we are an ally party. We'll have to beef up the party's strength."
