Looking ahead, the Chief Minister expressed confidence that Assam is on the path to becoming a frontrunner in India. “I hope that Assam will lead in all sectors in the coming days,” he remarked, signaling a push for industrial and social growth.
In a lighthearted yet symbolic moment, the CM referred to the State BJP President, Dilip Saikia. He noted that the name “Saikia” traditionally signifies a leader of a hundred, paralleling the NDA’s performance as it crossed the 100-seat mark in the 126-member assembly.
Historic “hat-trick” for BJP-led alliance
The 2026 victory marks a historic “hat-trick” for BJP-led alliance in Assam. Under Sarma’s leadership, the campaign focused heavily on infrastructure, the “Basundhara” land reforms, and the protection of indigenous identity.
The opposition, led by the Congress-led Asom Sonmilito Morcha, trailed significantly as the NDA consolidated its hold over both Upper and Lower Assam, as well as the Barak Valley.
