Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated Himanta Biswa Sarma after he took oath as Assam Chief Minister for a second term.

Calling it "a great day for Assam," PM Modi praised Sarma's work as an administrator and wished him success for the new term.

He has made a mark as a wonderful administrator and has done pioneering work for the state. My best wishes to him for the tenure ahead."

"Congratulations to Shri Rameswar Teli Ji, Shri Atul Bora Ji, Shri Charan Boro Ji and Smt. Ajanta Neog Ji on taking oath as Ministers in the Assam Government. My best wishes to them as they work towards strengthening the growth trajectory of Assam," PM Modi wrote in another post.

Himanta Biswa Sarma took oath as the Chief Minister of Assam for a second term today. This will be the third NDA government in Assam.

The oath-taking ceremony, held at the Veterinary College ground in Khanapara, was graced by the auspicious presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP President Nitin Nabin, senior Union ministers, and chief ministers and deputy chief ministers from several NDA-ruled states.

Along with Sarma, four ministers - two from the BJP and one each from its allies Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bodoland People's Front (BPF) - were also sworn in. They include Rameswar Teli, Atul Bora (AGP), Charan Boro (BPF) and Ajanta Neog.

In his victory speech, he credited the "double-engine" government led by Prime Minister Modi for Assam's rapid transformation over the past decade.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. While Sarma ji has done good work, the opposition was completely wiped out. A healthy democracy needs strong opposition. Hope the government stays accountable. 🤔

BJP's dominance in Northeast is incredible! From zero to hero in Assam. The peace and development in Bodoland areas is clearly visible. Charan Boro ji's inclusion shows BJP cares for all communities. 👏

As a Guwahati resident, I've seen real change - better roads, improved infrastructure, and fewer bandhs! But we still need more jobs for youth. Hope new term focuses on employment generation. 💪

Congratulations to all ministers! Special mention to Rameswar Teli ji - a true grassroots leader. But I hope the new government prioritizes flood management and tea garden workers' welfare this time. 🙏

Third consecutive NDA government - that's stability for Assam! From militancy to mainstream politics, what a transformation. The double-engine growth model is working wonders. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Impressive mandate but I worry about the lack of diversity in representation.
