THE CYCLING SPY

Ahealth-conscious Congress MLA is the talk of the town in Guwahati. Every evening, the legislator takes a round of the quarters where ministers and MLAs stay on his bicycle. While he claims it is to keep his weight in check, many say he is a spy of Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, keeping an eye on who was visiting whom. When confronted about his frequent visits to the BJP CM’s home, the Muslim MLA, an ally of Sarma during his Congress days, told his party it was for “constituency-related issues”.
