History and changes

Muhammed Saadulah resigned on 10 February 1946 following the 1946 elections. Abdul Kalam Azad had held discussions with Saadulah to explore the possibility of forming a ministry of the Indian National Congress with the All-India Muslim League but Saadulah rejected the proposal.^[2]

The Bordoloi government assumed office on 11 February 1946, and originally consisted of six members. Bhimbor Deori, a nominated member of Assam Legislative Council, and Abdur Rasheed were appointed ministers on 23 September 1946. Deori resigned on 12 April 1947 on health grounds, and on the same day his father-in-law, Rupanath Brahma inherited his portfolios.^[2]

A new cabinet was formed following the independence of India. Basanta Kumar Das, Baidyanath Mookherjee and Abdur Rasheed were dropped from the previous ministry as Sylhet had decided to join Pakistan.^[3]

On 9 May 1949, Muhammad Tayabulla was appointed a minister but he resigned on 21 January 1950.^[2]
