“All the differences within, have been resolved under one roof, both teams are united and that team has decided I lead,” he said in Itanagar.

The Chief Minister asserted that the expectations are high among the people since a lot of good work was done under his father and ex- chief minister, Dorjee Khandu’s tenure and it is incumbent upon on him to resume the developmental work done by his father.

The 37-year-old Pema, who became the youngest chief minister in the country doesn’t have to take the floor test after governor Tathagat Roy said he was satisfied with Khandu’s show of strength on Saturday where he paraded 45 MLAs to prove the government’s majority.

Chowna Mein was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister and both the leaders were administered oath by the governor at Raj Bhavan in Itanagar.

Hours ahead of the scheduled floor test in the Assembly on Saturday, the Congress Legislature Party had elected Pema Khandu, in place of Tuki, who was restored to the Chief Minister’s post earlier this week after the apex court verdict.

The eldest son of the family, Mr. Pema Khandu, a graduate from Delhi’s prestigious Hindu College, had an early entry into governance after his father’s demise.

And in five years, he has emerged as the Chief Ministerial prospect after Supreme Court’s intervention that changed the course of politics in the State with dissidents returning to the Congress.
