The oath-taking ceremony was attended by notable figures including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP president JP Nadda, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, and Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang. The event, held at the Dorjee Khandu State Convention Centre, underscored the extensive support Khandu enjoys from the party’s top brass.
