BPF Chief's Wife Sewli Mohilary Eyes Ministerial Post in Assam NDA Government
Sewli Mohilary, wife of Bodoland People's Front (BPF) chief Hagrama Mohilary and a first-time MLA from Kokrajhar, is emerging as a leading candidate for a ministerial position in the upcoming National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in Assam. With the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for May 12, 2026, political sources indicate that the BPF is likely to secure one cabinet berth, similar to its ally Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). This represents a reduction from previous administrations where allies received two berths each, a change attributed to the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) massive electoral victory, which saw its seat tally rise to 82 in the 126-member Assembly. Sewli Mohilary has publicly expressed her keenness to serve as a minister, stating it would enable her to work more effectively for the people. The BPF had previously denied a ticket to former minister Pramila Rani Brahma in favor of fielding Sewli. The new council of ministers will be capped at 18 members, including the Chief Minister, as the NDA consolidates power with a total of 102 seats.
