May-26-2026

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has asserted that the assembly results were an affirmation of the BJP-led NDA’s commitment to work for peace and prosperity of the state and emphasized that the government is working rapidly towards the goal of transforming Assam into a Rs 10 lakh crore economy by the year 2028.

During the assembly's Motion of Thanks to the Governor's Address, Sarma said that tabling the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill proved his government’s commitment to working for the rights of women belonging to the minority community and urged the opposition to support the bill. He said he kept his promise of bringing the UCC bill in the first assembly session.

Assam CM noted that the NDA’s number of seats not just reached 102, but the number of votes polled by its candidates also increased by 15 lakh this time. The BJP candidates secured over 81.92 lakh votes, AGP got 14 lakh, and BPF got 8 lakh, with the NDA crossing the 1 crore votes mark in total. He said the NDA swept all Scheduled Tribe reserved seats and tea tribes-dominated ones, while winning all but one seats reserved for the Scheduled Caste. Sarma added that the election results showed people rejected personal attacks and politicisation of singer Zubeen Garg’s death.

Biswa Sarma also praised Eidgah committees for avoiding cow sacrifice during Bakri Eid. Addressing the issue of inflation, Sarma said that the government is taking necessary measures to control prices and that the matter is being taken seriously.
