Assam CM Performs Folk Dance With Schoolchildren

Assam Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma surprised schoolchildren on Sunday when he joined them in performing a traditional folk dance at an event. The chief minister also shared a video of his dance saying he “couldn’t help” but join in.

The students were part of an event organised at the chief minister’s residence at in Dispur.

In the video, Mr Sarma walks up to the stage cheering the dancing students and quickly matches steps with them as they performed jhumur, the traditional folk dance of Assam’s tea communities. Seeing him shake a leg, more students rush to join the dance circle. The video shows both Mr Sarma and his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma cheering and dancing with the schoolchildren.

An evening to cherish!
