Atul Bora handling Assam Accord Implementation is interesting! Border protection is crucial for our state. But I hope they actually work on ground-level problems rather than just making promises during elections. 🙏

Rameswar Teli handling Labour Welfare and Tea Tribes is a sensible move. But we need concrete action for those Adivasi communities, not just name-dropping in portfolios. The real test is in implementation.

Charan Boro with Transport and Welfare of Bodoland - finally some attention to Bodo community needs. Let's hope they fix the road conditions in BTAD areas too. 😊
