Government officers will listen to the ministers as long as he is the chief minister, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said at a programme in the Sorbhog assembly constituency from where a leader of the opposition CPI(M) has won in the recently held election.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said that the role of an MLA is confined to framing laws, while it is the duty of the ministers to implement them. Government officers will listen to the ministers as long as he is the chief minister, Mr Sarma said at a programme in the Sorbhog assembly constituency from where a leader of the opposition CPI(M) has won in the recently held election. An assembly constituency earlier had only an MLA, but now it has a guardian minister too, he said. "MLAs will work in the assembly and frame the laws. If we do something bad, they can topple the government, though they cannot actually do so (this time) as we have majority," Mr Sarma said.More Related News
