GUWAHATI: Lok Sabha MP Ram Prasad Sarmah said he may return to the party and contest the Lok Sabha polls if Prime Minister Narendra Modi requests him.

According to media, BJP sources said the central leadership is yet to accept Sarmah's resignation.

"If Prime Minister Modi and party president Amit Shah request, then I may think about joining again and fight the election from Tezpur," said Sarmah.

Ram Prasad Sarmah, who belongs to the Gorkha community, was elected to the Lok Sabha for the first time in 2014 from the Tezpur constituency, which has a sizeable Gorkha population.
