They want Sarma to become CM, Narendra Modi to remain Prime Minister, and India to advance. NDA is going to get over 100 seats this time. The Gandhi family has no impact on Assam. Everybody knows Rahul Gandhi is a pessimist," he told ANI.

23,182 votes margin is pretty big. Shows that people of Jorhat have clearly given their mandate for development under CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and PM Modi's leadership. The Gandhi family's influence is indeed fading in the Northeast. Good for Assam's progress! 🚀

BJP winning 82 seats is a massive mandate. I'm not a supporter of any party, but I have to give credit where it's due - the infrastructure development in Assam under Sarma is visible. Roads, bridges, and connectivity have improved a lot. Congress needs to seriously rethink their strategy.

I have mixed feelings. While BJP has done good work in Assam, I hope they don't take this huge majority for granted. Opposition being reduced to 19 seats is concerning for democracy - a healthy opposition is needed to keep the government accountable. Still, congratulations to all winners.

Well said by Tarang Gogoi about Gandhi family having no impact in Assam. Rahul Gandhi's 'pessimist' label might be harsh but there's truth - the opposition needs positive narratives, not just criticism. The development agenda is what won the day. Kudos to the NDA team! 🇮🇳

"People want development" - that's the key takeaway. Elections are about delivering on promises. CM Sarma's focus on healthcare, education, and infrastructure has clearly resonated. Though I wish the margin had been slightly closer to keep BJP on their toes. Anyway, congratulations to the winners.
