NEW DELHI, April 20 - The Sarbananda Sonowal government is likely to be expanded soon with the BJP�s central leadership on Friday clearing the expansion proposal.
The issue of ministry expansion was discussed at a meeting held at the plush BJP headquarters here this afternoon, which was chaired by BJP national president Amit Shah and attended by general secretary in-charge for Northeast Ram Madhav and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and State Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Emerging from the hour-long meeting, Sarma hinted at the possibility of the expansion soon. �Expect some news in a day or two,� he told waiting newsmen.
