Himanta Biswa Sarma will be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Assam for the second time on Tuesday, following a significant victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the recent elections. The BJP, part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), won 102 seats in the 126-member Assam Assembly, with Sarma playing a crucial role in this achievement. His tenure has been marked by a hardline stance on various issues, including eviction drives aimed at clearing encroachments on government land, particularly affecting the 'Miyas', or Bangladeshi Muslims. Sarma, affectionately known as 'Mama', has been praised for his governance, which includes job creation, infrastructure development, and social welfare initiatives. However, his approach has also sparked controversies. Sarma's political journey began in the Congress party, where he held significant positions before joining the BJP in 2015. His leadership has been instrumental in the BJP's rise in Assam, culminating in a record third consecutive term. Alongside Sarma, four other members will be sworn in as part of the new cabinet, including Rameswar Teli and Ajanta Neog.
