When Will the Assam Cabinet Expand?

Political observers believe the BJP-led NDA may wait for internal discussions and portfolio allocation before announcing the next round of inductions. The first cabinet meeting is expected shortly after the swearing-in ceremony, where key administrative decisions could be discussed.
At present, there has been no official announcement regarding the exact date of the next cabinet expansion. However, sources indicate that more ministers could be inducted in the coming days or weeks as the new government settles into office.
