NEW DELHI : Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma called on Vice President C P Radhakrishnan at the Uparashtrapati Bhavan here on Monday.

This was Sarma’s first meeting with the vice president since taking oath as Assam chief minister for a second consecutive term on May 12. Radhakrishnan took charge as vice president in September 2025.

“Chief Minister of Assam, Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma called on Vice President Shri C P Radhakrishnan at Uprashtrapati Bhavan today,” the Vice President’s office posted on X.
