Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed the 12 legislators set to be sworn in as Cabinet Ministers on June 5. The new appointments will bring the total number of ministers in the Council to 17. The upcoming ceremony will feature a mix of existing and fresh faces in the state government.
The new Cabinet lineup showcases a blend of continuity and change. While many senior ministers from the previous government have retained their positions, there are also several new entrants. Notably, the reshuffle aims to enhance regional, social, and political representation within the administration.
The composition of the new ministry reflects a strategic balance between maintaining experienced leaders associated with key government initiatives and introducing a new generation of emerging leaders. This move follows the NDA’s significant victory in the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, solidifying Sarma’s second consecutive term as Chief Minister.
