Assam MLA Akhil Gogoi on October 9 has thrown light on a BJP MLA's alleged role in forcefully grabbing a coke plant owned by a Kolkata businessman and has demanded that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma intervene in the issue. "Under Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's government, is mafia running Assam now? BJP MLA Bhaskar Sharma has been repeatedly accused of running a coal syndicate. Assam's citizens were terrified when you (Himanta Biswa Sarma) were appointed the state's Chief Minister who is a man with allegations. How can a BJP MLA who has committed illegal acts like "secret killings" seize an industry in a mafia-like manner?
