Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Set to Take Oath for Second Term

Assam's Oath Ceremony: A Historic Moment

Today marks a significant occasion as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prepares to assume power in Assam for the third consecutive time. The oath-taking ceremony will take place at the Veterinary College Ground in Khanapara, Guwahati, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending as the chief guest. Alongside Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, four prominent leaders will also be sworn in as cabinet ministers.

Himanta Biswa Sarma's Journey: From Congress to BJP

Himanta Biswa Sarma's political journey has been remarkable, transitioning from Congress to the BJP. He took his oath as the 15th Chief Minister of Assam on May 10, 2021. After spending nearly two decades with Congress, he joined the BJP on August 23, 2015.

Sarma has played a crucial role in expanding the BJP's influence in the Northeast, being appointed as the convenor of the North East Democratic Alliance. His strategic leadership during the 2016 and 2021 assembly elections was pivotal in bringing the BJP to power in Assam for the first time and securing a second victory.

Following the BJP's success in the May 2026 elections, he is now set to take the oath of office for his second term as Chief Minister. His journey reflects a blend of strategic planning, party expansion, and electoral success.

Looking Ahead

As Sarma prepares for his second term, his leadership will be closely watched as he continues to navigate the political landscape of Assam and the Northeast.
