- The health minister will be judged on improving healthcare access and quality.
- The education minister needs to enhance learning outcomes.

The true test will be implementation, where the Cabinet has to execute schemes efficiently and demonstrate good governance. The Opposition will also keep a hawk eye and be quick to criticize any shortcomings.
But for now, the formation of the cabinet itself is a positive development. The Chief Minister has allocated portfolios to utilize the skills of his team appropriately. Let’s hope the new cabinet brings progress across all the core sectors!
