BPF leader Charan Boro to take oath as Assam Minister, says ‘feeling very happy’
Bodoland People's Front leader Charan Boro is set to take oath as a minister in the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led cabinet on Tuesday, May 12, as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance begins its third consecutive term in Assam.
Speaking ahead of the swearing-in ceremony in Guwahati, Boro expressed happiness over being inducted into the new ministry.
“I am feeling very happy. The NDA government is being formed for the third time in Assam. This is the second term of Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma as Chief Minister. I am also getting an opportunity to take oath as a minister,” Boro told reporters.
Boro’s induction is seen as significant for the BPF, an NDA ally in Assam, as the alliance prepares to begin a new term following its decisive victory in the Assembly elections.
The NDA secured 102 seats in the 126-member Assam Assembly, with the Bharatiya Janata Party winning 82 seats, while its allies AGP and BPF won 10 seats each.
