"Rise of BJP in East is evident to us", says Devendra Fadnavis ahead of Assam CM swearing-in

Devendra Fadnavis says BJP's growing strength in eastern India is clear, crediting PM Modi and Himanta Biswa Sarma for party's third consecutive Assam win.

"The rise of the BJP in the East is evident to us, in which the most important link was Bengal - Devendra Fadnavis"

Guwahati, May 11

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the growing strength of the Bharatiya Janata Party in eastern India is clearly visible, as he arrived in Guwahati to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Assam Chief Minister-designate Himanta Biswa Sarma, who is set to begin his second consecutive term on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival, Fadnavis credited the BJP's "unprecedented" third consecutive victory in Assam to the developmental vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma.

"I am very happy that the BJP government has come to power in Assam for the third consecutive time, and tomorrow our popular Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, will take oath. The way change has come to Assam under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Himanta Biswa Sarma has made efforts to fulfil the hopes of development in Assam, and because of that, the BJP has achieved this kind of unprecedented victory. I extend my best wishes to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who will take the oath tomorrow. I am confident that in this term as well, he will take Assam to new heights and Assam will progress a lot," he said.

Highlighting the BJP's expansion in eastern India, Fadnavis said the party's rising footprint in the region reflects both political acceptance and developmental politics, also referring to its growth in West Bengal as part of the larger eastern narrative.

"The rise of the BJP in the East is evident to us, in which the most important link was Bengal, and the way the government has been formed in Bengal, it was not only very necessary for the BJP but also for India... A worker like me is very happy from the heart," he said.

Earlier in the day, Fadnavis also visited the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati and offered prayers to Goddess Kamakhya ahead of the swearing-in ceremony.

Himanta Biswa Sarma will take oath as the Chief Minister of Assam for a second successive term on May 12 after Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya approved his appointment following the BJP's landslide victory in the state assembly elections.

According to an official notification issued by the Parliamentary Affairs Department, Government of Assam, the Governor has appointed Sarma as Chief Minister under Article 164(1) of the Constitution of India. The swearing-in ceremony will take place at 11:40 AM on May 12 at Veterinary College Field, Khanapara in Guwahati.

BJP's rise in east is no surprise. The party has done well in states like Assam, Tripura, and now West Bengal is showing signs. But the real test will be sustaining this growth with actual governance. Results matter more than rhetoric.

Kamakhya Temple visit before swearing-in - that's a good cultural touch. Northeast has a unique blend of traditions. Hope the new term brings more connectivity and economic opportunities for the region. Development should reach all sections.

Third consecutive term is impressive. But I'd like to see more transparency in governance. The opposition parties in Assam need to raise genuine issues, not just create noise. Let's hope for balanced development across all communities.

Fadnavis is right about the east. We're seeing a political shift. But I remember when Congress used to win in a large part of this region. Change is good, but let's not forget the basics - education, healthcare, and jobs for the youth.

Interesting to see this perspective from Maharashtra's CM. Northeast was always seen as different, but now it's integrating more with mainstream politics. Hopefully, this leads to better infrastructure and tourism development in states like Assam.
