Guwahati, May 13: The newly sworn-in Assam government led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will hold its first cabinet meeting on Tuesday at 2 PM at the State Guest House in Koinadhara, Guwahati.
The meeting comes shortly after Sarma took oath as Chief Minister for a second consecutive term following the BJP-led alliance’s return to power in Assam for a third successive term.
Sources indicated that several important policy and administrative decisions are likely to be discussed during the inaugural cabinet meeting of the new government.
The discussions are expected to focus on governance priorities, implementation of major election promises, welfare initiatives, infrastructure development projects and administrative planning for the new term.
The first cabinet meeting of the new dispensation is being closely watched as it is expected to provide an indication of the immediate roadmap and priorities of the Himanta Biswa Sarma government’s second term in office.
Senior ministers who were sworn in alongside the Chief Minister are expected to attend the meeting, where allocation of departmental responsibilities and other key governance-related matters may also figure in the discussions.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) returned to power in Assam with a decisive mandate in the recently concluded Assembly elections, further consolidating the party’s position in the state under Sarma’s leadership.
