Assam: Preparations underway in Guwahati for BJP Legislature Party meeting ahead of CM oath ceremony

Preparations for BJP Legislature Party meeting and NDA oath ceremony in Guwahati on May 12 with PM Modi as chief guest.

"The results of the recent Assam Assembly polls are extremely disappointing - Gaurav Gogoi"

Guwahati, May 10

Preparations are underway in Guwahati for the BJP Legislature Party meeting on Sunday to formally elect its leader, followed by a joint NDA meeting to choose the alliance leader.

The BJP-led NDA government in Assam will take oath on May 12 in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will attend the ceremony as the chief guest.

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) got a landslide victory in the Assam polls. The state will have its third successive NDA government.

The BJP-led NDA secured a strong mandate in the state, winning 102 seats against the opposition's 75 seats. The BJP won 82 seats, while its allies AGP and BOPF secured 10 seats each, taking the NDA's total to 102. While the opposition Mitrajoot of INC secured 19 seats, Raijor Dal secured only 2 seats, while AJP failed to secure even a single seat. Meanwhile, AIUDF managed to get 2 seats.

Earlier on Thursday, the outgoing Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, reviewed the arrangements for the swearing-in ceremony of the NDA 3.0 government at the Khanapara Veterinary Field in Guwahati.

Meanwhile, Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi said the results of the recent Assam Assembly polls were "extremely disappointing" and that he would take full responsibility for the outcome.

His remarks came as the Congress held a review meeting with its newly elected MLAs. "The results of the recent Assam Assembly polls are extremely disappointing. I have said it before that I will take full responsibility for it," Gogoi told reporters.

He added that he had communicated the same to the party high command and stated that the party had already started an internal review process.

"I have also communicated to the high command, and it is for the high command to decide the future course of action in terms of organisational restructuring, as well as outlining the next few steps. At the same time, we have already started an internal review process... I think over the next month, we would be trying to identify the real reasons which can explain this particular 2026 result," he added.

Good to see stability in Assam politics. But I hope this new government focuses on job creation and inflation control. Common people are still struggling with rising prices.

Interesting to see how the NDA has consolidated its position in the Northeast. Assam's political landscape is clearly shifting. Will be watching how the opposition reorganizes.

Brilliant win for BJP in Assam! Himanta Biswa Sarma has done excellent work. But I hope the alliance with AGP and BOPF works smoothly this time. And Gaurav Gogoi's admission of responsibility is a classy move - shows leadership quality.

The Congress party's decline in Assam is concerning. Raijor Dal and AJP barely made an impact too. A democracy needs strong opposition. Hope Congress does a thorough review and comes back stronger.

BJP winning 82 seats is massive. But let's not forget the alliance partners - AGP and BOPF got 10 each. The real challenge starts now - fulfilling promises of development, especially in rural areas and flood management. Best wishes to the new government!

Only 19 seats for Congress 😔 that's a hard fall. Gaurav Gogoi taking responsibility is good but action matters more. The Assam people have clearly voted for stability and development. Hope the new government works for all communities.
