NDA's Political Strength in Assam

This victory marks the third consecutive term for the NDA government in Assam, highlighting the coalition's increasing political influence in the northeastern region.

Cabinet Appointments and Assembly Majority

Alongside Sarma, four other ministers took their oaths, including BJP leaders Rameswar Teli and Ajanta Neog, as well as Atul Bora from the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Charan Boro from the Bodoland People's Front (BPF). Senior BJP leader Ranjeet Kumar Dass has been nominated as the NDA candidate for the Speaker's position in the Assam Assembly.

The BJP-led NDA achieved a remarkable victory in the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, winning 102 out of 126 seats, thus securing a three-fourths majority. The AGP and BPF each contributed 10 seats to this success.

Sarma also successfully retained his constituency with a margin exceeding 80,000 votes, reinforcing his position as the leading figure for the BJP in Assam. In his victory address, he attributed the state's rapid development over the last decade to the 'double-engine' government led by Prime Minister Modi.
