Himanta to expand Assam cabinet on June 5; new faces likely to replace old ones

Assam Cabinet Expansion on June 5 after BJP’s strong poll win

Assam's council of ministers will expand to 18 on June 5, one month after BJP won 82 of 126 assembly seats and the NDA coalition secured 102 total. Allies AGP and BPF each get one ministerial berth — halved from prior terms — signaling BJP's tighter grip and reduced coalition dependency.
