Himanta to reshuffle his ministry before August 15
Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is likely to reshuffle his ministry by including at least three new faces by August 15 to create a new team for the 2026 assembly elections.
“I have not spoken about it with my central leadership and will consider the process of ministry reshuffle a month after the flood situation in the state is over,” Sarma said addressing a press conference here on Thursday.
“We will change our ministry and a new look will be given to it. There will not be a change of man but portfolios. We need to prepare the team for 2026 elections that will work with new energy,” he said.
“No decision has been taken yet as I have not spoken to the central leadership, which is undergoing a change at present,” he also said.
“There is also a flood situation going on. So, we will start after one month. We will have a new ministry by August 15,” Sarma said.
Sarma is heading a 14-member ministry, which was sworn on in Mau 10, 2021.
