"It is a fortunate day for Assam. CM Himata Biswa Sarma has been chosen to develop Assam further... Almost 20 CMs are here... The BJP will form government in 2031 too... Himanta Biswa Sarma's government will be formed for 15 years," he said.

"The CM has announced my name as a candidate for the speaker post. I am very fortunate," he added.

Meanwhile, guests have begun to arrive in Guwahati for the oath-taking ceremony of the Assam government. Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, Deputy Chief Minister Yanthungo Patton and Minister Jacob Zhimomi also arrived to attend the event.

Speaking with ANI, Nagaland Minister Jacob Zhimomi hailed Assam CM-designate's leadership and the development efforts made by his government at grassroot level. Applauding Sarma's victory in the state assembly elections, Zhimomi extended best wishes for the third term of NDA government in Assam.

"We are very happy, and the people of Assam have once again reposed their trust in Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, as he has carried out development work at the grassroots level in the state of Assam, reaching out to all sections of society.

I'm from Assam and I've seen the change firsthand. Earlier, travelling to far-off villages was a nightmare, now roads have improved so much. The grassroots development Zhimomi mentioned is real - our local school got new facilities under this government. Yes, there are still issues like unemployment, but at least they're moving in the right direction. Hope the next 5 years bring more jobs for our youth. 🇮🇳

As an outsider looking in, what impresses me most about Indian democracy is how regional leaders like Sarma can build such strong local support while being part of a national party. The fact that almost 20 chief ministers attended speaks volumes about coalition politics in India. Good luck to Assam!

Politicians always make such statements. 'Form government in 2031' - first focus on delivering what you promised in this term. Assam still has flood issues, healthcare problems in rural areas. I'm not saying they haven't done good work, but let's be realistic. The Maa Kamakhya blessings are important, but action on ground matters more. Just my two paise.

Interesting to see the blend of religious tradition and political ceremony. Sarma seeking blessings from Maa Kamakhya before swearing-in shows how deeply rooted culture is in Indian politics. In the West, we might separate church and state more strictly, but here it seems to unite people. Hope Assam continues to prosper under this leadership.
