Prince Saikat (born 2006) as Saikat Seal is a Vishwamitran royal and retired politician who is the current heir presumptive of Madhya Prant for his brother Arnab Sil, Rajpramukh of Madhya Prant. He had earlier served as a minister under several prime ministers holding many important portfolios in the government.
Personal life
He was born in 2006 and is the younger brother and only sibling of the current Rajpramukh of Madhya Prant, Arnab Sil.
Political career
He joined the nation as a citizen in December 2015, and was soon inducted into the new council of ministers as a Minister of State under Prime Minister Klarissa Sriraya in the Ministry of Home Affairs. Following the introduction of the multi-party system of government in the nation in April 2016, he along with his older sibling Arnab Sil formed the Children's Group Freedom Party, which became an ally of the Friends Society Secular Party and both leaders joined the union council of ministers under Prime Minister Varuna Sriraya on 11 April 2016. He was reappointed to the same position and was in office until 29 May 2016. On 29 May, he was entrusted the additional duties of the independent charge of the Vice President's Office. In a cabinet reshuffle held on 10 July 2016, he was relieved of his duties in the Ministry of Home Affairs and was entrusted the independent charge of the Ministry of External Affairs, thereby becoming the first foreign minister of the nation. He resigned from the union council of ministers following his appointment to a gubernatorial office on 18 September.
On 18 September 2016, he was appointed as the first Governor of North Guwahati and remained in position until his resignation to run for the Parliament in the 2016 December elections.
