Sarma was the ace leader in the Congress party and under whose management, supervision and directorship, Congress won the 2006 and 2011 elections. He was the key person behind the winning of 2006 and 2011 assembly legislative elections held in Assam yet he was side cast. After the emergence of Gaurav, the son of Gogoi, the party started neglecting his efforts and hard work. However, his tolerance level reached its extreme level, when in the much-anticipated result, instead of choosing Sarma,54 out of 78 MLA’s of Congress supported Gogoi for the position of CM of Assam.
However, when the vice-president of Congress Party, Rahul Gandhi also disapproved of his claim for the position of CM, Sarma decided to left the party who does not appreciate the efforts and hard work of their MLA’s and are partial to particular people. Thereafter, he joined BJP in 2015. With all the hardships that he faced while being in the Congress party, he decided to completely exterminate the existence of Congress from the entire Northeast of India.

Thirdly, Sarma has a huge unforeseeable force in the form of true and loyal followers and is one of those persons who is known for his, ‘intolerance’ against corruption. Also, when Assam was affected by the first wave of the Wuhan Virus Pandemic, Sarma handled the situation with extra precaution and care.
