Himanta Biswa Sarma was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Assam for the second consecutive time on Tuesday, following a decisive victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the recent assembly elections. The ceremony took place at the Veterinary College ground in Khanapara, with notable attendees including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The BJP secured 82 seats in the 126-member Assam Assembly, while its allies, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the Bodoland People's Front (BPF), won 10 seats each, bringing the total National Democratic Alliance (NDA) tally to 102. Sarma, who won his constituency of Jalukbari by over 89,000 votes, is the first non-Congress leader to serve two consecutive terms as Chief Minister in Assam. Alongside Sarma, several other BJP leaders were also sworn in as ministers. This marks the NDA's third consecutive term in Assam, with the previous government formed in 2016 under Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal. Security measures were heightened across Guwahati ahead of the ceremony to ensure a smooth event.
