After moments of hectic lobbying in Delhi former minister for chemical and fertilizer and Jorhat MP Bijoy Krishna Handique was inducted in the new Manmohan Singh cabinet on Friday. .According to information, Handique the fourth time MP from upper Assam's Jorhat Lok Sabha seat would take oath of office and secrecy from President Patil at a function at the Ashoka Hall. Handique will be among the 20 other minister including the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
Kudos to Honourable Minister Bijoy Krishna Handique for being offered a cabinet berth in UPA government. Assam is a neglected State in every sense. There should have been more ministers in the cabinet from Assam.This is injustice to the people of Assam. The political leaders of Assam should have opposed such a cheap offer. They should have reacted like DMK supremo Karunanidhi.
