Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said he did not have Rs 1,200 at present to buy Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's newly released book.

Sarma said he had neither bought nor read the book.

“The day I have Rs 1,200, I will buy and read the book,” he said.

He said he would read it if someone gifted him a copy.

Sarma said he had not seen the book yet and had enquired whether it contained any reference to Assam.
