Guwahati, May 11

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with top leaders of the Union government, will attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance government in Assam on Tuesday.

PM Modi arrived in Guwahati on Monday night to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

The Prime Minister landed at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport at Borjhar, where he was warmly received by Chief Minister-designate Himanta Biswa Sarma, along with state Bharatiya Janata Party President Dilip Saikia and other government officials.

Earlier, Himanta Biswa Sarma reviewed preparations at the Veterinary College ground in Khanapara ahead of the oath-taking ceremony, and said the new government would assume office at 11 a.m. on May 12 in the presence of top National Democratic Alliance leaders and party workers from across the state.​

Speaking to reporters, Sarma said several senior leaders of the National Democratic Alliance, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Bharatiya Janata Party president Nitin Nabin, and Chief Ministers from National Democratic Alliance-ruled states, are expected to attend the ceremony.​

According to officials, elaborate security arrangements have been put in place at the venue in view of the presence of the Prime Minister and other senior political leaders.​ Barricades, traffic diversions, and multi-layered security deployments have been put in place around the Khanapara area, while senior police officials reviewed preparedness on Monday.​

Sarma said thousands of Bharatiya Janata Party workers, including booth-level karyakartas from across Assam, are expected to participate in the event.​

The Chief Minister-designate also stated that the first Cabinet meeting of the new government would be held shortly after the swearing-in ceremony.​

He said implementation of the Bharatiya Janata Party's electoral commitments and development agenda would remain the government's top priority in its new term.​

The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance secured a decisive mandate in the recently concluded Assam Assembly elections, paving the way for Sarma to assume office as Chief Minister for a second consecutive term.​

As a Guwahati resident, the security arrangements around Khanapara have caused a bit of a hassle with road closures today. I hope all the VIP traffic doesn't disrupt daily life too much. But I also understand the need for tight security when such important leaders come to our state. Hope the event goes smoothly and Sarma ji delivers on the promises he made during elections.

The BJP winning Assam again is truly commendable. Himanta Sarma's leadership has transformed the state in many ways—infrastructure, law and order, and even tackling illegal immigration issues. With PM Modi and Amit Shah attending, it puts Assam on the national stage. Wish all the best to the new government! 🚀

I'm from Assam but live in Bengaluru now. It's good to see our state getting attention from the highest levels. Sarma ji's focus on education and women's safety has been appreciated by many. But I also hope he doesn't ignore the needs of ethnic minorities and works for all communities equally. Congratulations to him and the NDA team!

It's a big day for Assam! The fact that top leaders like the PM, HM Shah, Rajnath Singh, and Nadda are all coming shows how important this state is for the NDA. Implementation of promises like the ₹1 lakh crore development package will be crucial. Hope the new cabinet hits the ground running. All the best, Sir ji!

I admire the pomp and show of the swearing-in, but I also want to see tangible results at the grassroots level. In
