Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will lead the new council of ministers that is set to take oath on May 12. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the grand ceremony, which is being organized as a significant political event in the state.
Finalization of Ministerial List
Sarma announced on Monday that the final list of ministers would be decided during his meeting with senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nitin Nabin in Guwahati later that evening. The meeting is crucial to ensure a balanced representation of communities and regions within the ruling alliance.
Event Details and Preparations
The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled to be a massive gathering, with arrangements being made to accommodate thousands of attendees. PM Modi's presence underscores the importance the central government places on Assam's political stability and development. Security measures have been tightened across Guwahati for the event.
Political analysts view this as a strategic move to strengthen the BJP-led coalition in the state ahead of upcoming local elections. The new council is expected to focus on key issues such as infrastructure, flood management, and economic growth.
The oath ceremony will take place at a prominent venue in Guwahati, with live broadcasts planned across multiple platforms. Sarma, who has been chief minister since 2021, continues to consolidate his leadership amid internal party dynamics.
