Ahead of the expected cabinet formation in Assam, organizations representing the Koch-Rajbongshi community have raised demands for stronger political representation in the upcoming ministry.
According to reports, a Koch-Rajbongshi body has urged the state leadership to allocate at least two ministerial positions to members of the community, citing its demographic significance and political contribution in the state.
Community representatives reportedly stated that adequate representation in the cabinet is necessary to ensure greater focus on issues related to regional development, education, welfare, and cultural identity.
The demand comes amid ongoing political discussions surrounding cabinet expansion and representation of various ethnic and regional communities in Assam. Political observers believe community balance is expected to play a key role in the formation process.
The Koch-Rajbongshi community continues to hold notable influence across several districts of lower and western Assam, with various organizations consistently advocating for development initiatives and broader political participation.
