By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, April 2: Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily, during his stint as Assam in-charge of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), had given an assurance that all members of Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi’s Cabinet would make their assets public. Six months after Moily’s assurance, Gogoi too gave the same assurance to the people of the State that his Cabinet colleagues would make their assets public. In February last, Gogoi opted to set March 10, 2010 as the deadline for the ministers to disclose their assets. Significantly, Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had told the media that he would make his assets available online by March 7, but neither Sarma nor any of his Cabinet colleagues have disclosed their assets yet.
