Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia affirmed the party's dedication to advancing development and good governance in the state over the next five years, amid trends indicating a BJP victory in the Assembly elections, according to the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Speaking about the party’s responsibility, Saikia stated, “Our responsibility has increased. To serve the people of Assam, in the next 5 years, we will work towards development. The sensibility that the PM has for Assam is unique. Under Modi and Himanta Biswa Sarma, Assam has developed greatly. That is why people have once again voted for the BJP. We will try to provide them with good governance.”
Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal expressed his gratitude to the people of Assam for their strong support in the Assembly polls. He attributed the mandate to the credible service provided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
“We are sincerely grateful to the people of Assam because of their sympathy, support, and blessings. This is a great recognition of the credible service rendered by PM Modi and CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. With such a historic mandate, under the dynamic leadership of Modi, we are going to take up the agenda of Assam for speedy growth,” Sonowal said.
He also extended thanks to the people of Bengal, noting that the BJP received their support for the first time, which contributed to creating an environment for the party to form the government.
“Our thanks also go to the people of Bengal. For the first time, they have created an environment and voted for the BJP to form the government,” Sonowal remarked.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is poised for its third consecutive victory in Assam’s Assembly elections, having secured at least 28 seats so far. This election marked the first Assembly contest in the state with Himanta Biswa Sarma as Chief Minister, and the party has improved its performance compared to the 2021 polls.
