The 

political structure of Assam in India is headed by the ceremonial post of the Governor. He is assisted by a council of

ministers, headed by the Chief Minister, who are members of the Assam Assembly. In recent years the Governor has
become more powerful, especially because the last two Governors have been ex-Army generals and the Army is entrusted
with anti-insurgency operations against ULFA and other armed groups .[1]
