Sarbananda Sonowal, a prominent BJP leader from Assam, is likely to be inducted into Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new cabinet. Sonowal, who is currently serving as Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, is said to be close to Prime Minister Modi.
A popular figure in Assam, Sonowal has a clean image and is known for his oratorical skills. He was instrumental in the BJP's victory in the state assembly elections in 2016, and served as Chief Minister of Assam from 2016 to 2021.
Sonowal is expected to get a cabinet berth in Modi's new government, given his experience and popularity. He is likely to be given a key portfolio, such as Home or Finance.
The induction of Sonowal into the cabinet is seen as a sign of the BJP's commitment to the Northeast region. The BJP has been making significant inroads in the region in recent years, and Sonowal's appointment is expected to further strengthen the party's position.
Sonowal's appointment is also seen as a reward for his loyalty to the BJP. He has been a steadfast supporter of Prime Minister Modi, and has played a key role in the party's growth in Assam.
