His tenure coincided with the Sarma government's term, during which the state was involved in a number of high-profile legal proceedings.Beyond his legal responsibilities, Saikia also holds the position of Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), making him one of the few senior legal figures in India with a prominent role in cricket administration simultaneously.Context: New Government FormationThe resignation comes directly ahead of the swearing-in of the new BJP-led NDA government in Assam, scheduled for 12 May in Guwahati. The outgoing government's term formally concluding has triggered the constitutional practice of the Advocate General — a political appointee — stepping down to allow the incoming administration a free hand in appointing its own legal representative.This is consistent with established practice across Indian states, where the Advocate General, being an appointee of the state executive, typically resigns upon a change or renewal of government.What Happens NextAccording to sources, a new Advocate General is expected to be appointed after the new Council of Ministers is formed following the 12 May swearing-in ceremony. The appointment will be a key early decision for the incoming government, given the volume of constitutional and legal matters pending before various courts on behalf of the state of Assam.

He accused the Congress of having "stabbed the DMK in the back" and of lacking any consistent ideology.Ashoka warned other INDIA bloc constituents to take note of how Congress treats its allies, cautioning that they could face a similar situation if they continued to rely on the party.Sringeri Recount Row: Speaker Agrees to Swear In BJP MLAOn the Sringeri recount controversy, Ashoka said that Speaker U.T. Khader has agreed to administer the oath to BJP MLA D.N. Jeevaraj after the matter was escalated to the Governor. He argued that once a candidate's name is published in the official gazette and a certificate is issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI), the oath must be administered without delay.Ashoka noted that either the Governor or a person designated by him holds the authority to administer the oath, and welcomed the Speaker's decision to accept the result and proceed with the swearing-in. He said this outcome vindicated the BJP's position on the matter.Attack on Siddaramaiah and Rahul GandhiTurning his criticism toward Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Ashoka said that if the Chief Minister genuinely believed there was wrongdoing in the Sringeri election result, he should have approached the court at an earlier stage rather than attempting to delay the swearing-in through the Speaker's office.He also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, accusing him of making inconsistent statements on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) across different states. Ashoka argued that the Congress accepts election results when it wins but questions the ECI and EVMs when it loses — a position he described as contradictory and irresponsible.Broader Implications for the INDIA BlocThe BJP's broadside comes at a time when the INDIA bloc — a coalition of opposition parties assembled ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections — has faced recurring questions about internal cohesion. Notably, this is not the first instance of friction between Congress and its regional allies; similar tensions have previously surfaced with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC). The BJP appears intent on amplifying these fault lines ahead of upcoming state elections. Whether the DMK formally responds to the Congress's reported stance will be closely watched in the coming days. Karnataka BJP's R.

"Today I signed a proclamation recognising national youth sports and fitness, and I'll also signed the very first copy of the new revitalised Presidential Fitness Test Award, a certificate in recognition of achievement of the Gold Standard of Physical Fitness," Trump said.Trump also used the occasion to take a direct swipe at his predecessor, saying: "Then we had the Obama administration, wonderful, wonderful person, Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? We had the Obama administration, which phased out this wonderful tradition of physical fitness."He further linked the programme to his administration's broader stance on competitive sport, stating: "We banned men from competing in women's sports. Competition is critical to who we are and ensuring America stays on top."The Public Health CaseHealth and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. framed the revival in stark public health terms. "We're now the sickest nation in the world," Kennedy said. "We've gone from five percent of our kids being obese to 20 per cent. Seventy percent of adults are obese or overweight, and 77 per cent of our children cannot qualify for military service." Kennedy also noted a personal connection, praising the original programme created under his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, calling it "an enduring rite of passage for us that everybody in my generation remembers."Military Readiness AngleDefence Secretary Pete Hegseth tied youth fitness directly to national security. "Almost three-fourths of American young people do not qualify for military service, and a lot of that has to do with their physical fitness," he said. Golfer Bryson DeChambeau, closely involved in the initiative, said the programme would initially roll out across military schools before broader national adoption. "Secretary Hegseth here has allowed us to be involved in over 160 schools, military bases with DoWEA and institutionalising this presidential fitness test in those schools," DeChambeau said.Historical BackgroundThe Presidential Fitness Test was introduced during the presidency of John F. Kennedy in the Cold War era, driven by concerns that American youth lagged European peers in physical preparedness. The test traditionally included pull-ups, sit-ups, shuttle runs, and endurance exercises, with top performers receiving awards and certificates. It remained a fixture in American schools for decades before being replaced in 2013 with a broader health-focused initiative under the Obama administration.Broader ContextEducation Secretary Linda McMahon urged schools nationwide to voluntarily adopt similar programmes, saying: "In order to have a sound mind you do have to eat well, you do have to exercise, you do have to train, and you do have to be fit." The revival comes as governments globally — including India — have intensified campaigns promoting fitness and preventive healthcare among children, amid rising concerns over obesity, screen addiction, and declining physical activity levels in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. How quickly American schools adopt the revived test beyond military institutions will be the key measure of the programme's reach.
