Kishor Barman, representing the BJP from the Nalchar constituency, joined Tripura's cabinet as a minister following an oath-taking ceremony at Raj Bhavan. Chief Minister Manik Saha orchestrated this expansion to 12 cabinet members.

The newly structured cabinet includes nine BJP members, with additional representation from the Tipra Motha Party (TMP) and the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT). The ceremony lacked participation from TMP, IPFT, as well as opposition figures from the CPI(M) and Congress.

Barman expressed gratitude to national leaders and pledged allegiance to the party, emphasizing his previous contributions and continuing commitment to Tripura's development strategy, 'Ek Tripura, Shrestha Tripura'. Portfolio allocations will be finalized later.
