The Chief Minister of Assam Himanta biswa Sarma has been ranked 32 among the most 100 powerful leaders in the country. The Indian Express has updated its Power List.
The article wrote, “….Known for his controversial remarks, he brings to the table a clout that transcends the party’s core vote base. He’s a leader who can deliver the goods and has the trust of the Modi-Shah duo to push their ideas of governance. He has a pulse of the region and has become the BJP’s troubleshooter, managing its post-CAA turbulence in Assam and the political crisis in Manipur.”
It is noted that in 2021 Himanta Biswa Sarma secured rank 60.
However, the list of most powerful leaders has ranked the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi in No 1.
The article reads “as the PM now for eight years, Modi remains disruptor-in-chief with a regularity that expands his presence and crimps his critics.” The reason they shows “with 183 crore Covid vaccine doses administered to Indians, a Budget betting on a capex push, the BJP’s stunning return in four states, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has galvanised his party and government”.
