Guwahati: Cutting across party lines Assam state BJP president Ranjeet Kumar Dass, today visited Veteran Congress leader and former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi, who was readmitted to the Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) at night on Sunday due to coronavirus disease (Covid-19)-related complications.
On visiting the veteran leader Dass said, “I have known Tarun Gogoi for more than a decade now. I couldn’t pay him a visit earlier when he was admitted due to COVID-19. Today, when I met him we both got carried away and got nostalgic over a biscuit eating incident at the assembly. He is physically weak but mentally he is strong enough to overcome all the health hazards. I wish him a long life and a speedy recovery.”
Gogoi (86) had spent the past two months in hospital after he tested Covid-19 positive in August. He was discharged from the GMCH on October 25.
