Guwahati, May 12: Former Union Minister and newly elected BJP MLA Rameshwar Teli expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday. This acknowledgment came after his name was announced for inclusion in the new Assam cabinet. Teli stated that he will continue to work for all sections of society and the development of the state.
Speaking to reporters in Guwahati, Teli remarked that Tuesday would be a historic day for Assam, as many top national leaders are expected to attend the event. “I thank the Chief Minister for entrusting me with this responsibility. Tomorrow will mark a significant moment in Assam’s political journey, with PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, several Chief Ministers, and Union Ministers participating in the ceremony,” he said.
A senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Teli recently won the Duliajan assembly seat in the Assam elections and is set to take the oath as a cabinet minister on Tuesday. Himanta Biswa Sarma announced his inclusion in the council of ministers on Monday.
Teli emphasized his commitment to serving the people of Assam and vowed to work for every community in the state. “First and foremost, I am an Assamese. Wherever I have worked, I have always strived to serve the people with utmost sincerity. I have worked for all communities and tribes, and I will continue to do so in the future,” he affirmed.
Previously serving as a Minister of State in the Modi government, Teli is regarded as a prominent BJP leader in Upper Assam. He enjoys substantial support in tea garden areas and among Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities.
The swearing-in ceremony for the new Assam government will take place on Tuesday at the Veterinary College grounds in Khanapara, on the outskirts of Guwahati. PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and several Chief Ministers from the NDA are expected to attend.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance achieved a significant victory in the Assam assembly elections, winning 102 out of 126 seats in the assembly. The BJP secured 82 seats, while its allies, the Assam Gana Parishad and the Bodoland People’s Front, each won 10 seats.
