Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expanded his Cabinet by inducting four Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs as Ministers on Saturday (December 7, 2024), a little more than a year ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections in the State.

The MLAs – Prasanta Phukan representing the Dibrugarh seat, Kaushik Rai (Lakhipur), Krishnendu Paul (Patharkandi) and Rupesh Goala (Doomdooma) – were sworn in by Governor Laxman Prasad Acharya.
