In a significant political move, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expanded his cabinet on Saturday by swearing in four new ministers. The newly inducted BJP MLAs include Prasanta Phookan, Kaushik Rai, Krishnendu Paul, and Rupesh Goala, who took their oaths at the Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra under the administration of Governor Laxman Prasad Acharya.
With these inductions, the Chief Minister aims to strengthen the state's governance by aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for Assam. Phookan, a seasoned politician with a remarkable record, and his colleagues, representing diverse districts, vow to advance the development agenda for Assam's betterment.
While the portfolios for the new ministers are yet to be confirmed, the reshuffled cabinet now comprises 19 members. This expansion is part of Sarma's ongoing efforts to consolidate his administration and deliver efficient governance in Assam.
