Delhi Chief Minister Gupta remarked that the BJP's return to power for a third term in Assam signifies the blessings of Goddess Kamakhya and the people's trust in the party and Sarma's leadership.

She stated, "This is the outcome of Himanta Biswa Sarma's dedication and the affection and trust the people have in him. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's guidance, the journey towards a developed India and Assam is progressing."
