Ramen Deka was sworn in as the Governor of Chhattisgarh at a ceremony held at Raj Bhavan. After taking the oath, Deka expressed his happiness, stating, “I am very pleased to be the Governor of Chhattisgarh. I will ensure that the state progresses towards development. I will work as a mediator between the Government of Chhattisgarh and the Central Government.”
He added, “I will strive to address geopolitical issues, work on them, and share my views.”
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai extended his heartfelt congratulations to Deka, saying, “Today, Ramen Deka has taken the oath as the new Governor of Chhattisgarh. I wish him all the best. Chhattisgarh and Assam have longstanding ties.”

He expressed optimism that the friendship between Assam and Chhattisgarh would strengthen further and that the state would make significant progress under Deka’s guidance.
