“Today, at Zubeen Kshetra, I paid my tributes to Assam’s eternal heartthrob and reviewed the progress of the development work underway, an effort that will stand as a fitting tribute to his enduring legacy,” he said.

The Chief Minister also said that there should be “no politics in the name of Zubeen.”

“As promised, after the dust of the elections settled, I visited the site today purely as a tribute to someone who, for us, is evergreen — never a political issue, but an emotion that lives in every heart,” Sarma added.
