Family members of Assam Chief Minister-designate Himanta Biswa Sarma arrived at Veterinary College ground in Khanapara for the swearing-in ceremony of the NDA-led state government.

Speaking with ANI, Sarma's wife and daughter emphasised the significance of the event and expressed pride and elation over the second term of the NDA government in the state, calling it a "happy moment."

Other guests were also seen arriving in the state capital, 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. This victory is a testament to his exceptional leadership," he stated.

The swearing-in ceremony will be held today at 11:40 AM at the Veterinary College ground in Khanapara. Barricades, traffic diversions, and multi-layered security deployments have been put in place around the area.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, senior Union ministers, and chief ministers and deputy chief ministers from several NDA-ruled states are expected to attend the ceremony.

This will be the third NDA government in Assam. 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) - will also be sworn in. They include Rameswar Teli, Atul Bora (AGP), Charan Boro (BPF) and Ajanta Neog. Former minister and senior BJP leader Ranjeet Kumar Dass will be the NDA's candidate for the position of Speaker of the state Assembly.

Earlier, the chief minister-designate Sarma sought blessings from Maa Kamakhya, hoping for "peace, progress and prosperity" for the people of the state ahead of his swearing-in ceremony.

In a post on X, Sarma affirmed that with the blessings of Maa Kamakhya and Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev, Assam will make strides in development, as the NDA government, under Sarma's leadership, is set to begin its third consecutive term in the state from today.

"May the blessings of Maa Kamakhya and Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev illuminate the lives of everyone in Assam and open new pathways to peace, progress and prosperity. Assam will scale new heights of development in the coming days with their blessings. 12.05.2026," he wrote.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about all the political fanfare. Yes, development has happened, but what about the flood management issue? Thousands still suffer every year. Hope the new government focuses on core issues like agriculture and flood control rather than just photo-ops. Let's see what the third term brings for the aam aadmi.

Very happy for Assam! 👏 The way the CM-designate sought blessings from Maa Kamakhya shows respect for our culture and traditions. That's what we need - leaders who understand the emotional and spiritual connection of the people. All the best for the third term! 🙏

As someone who works in the Northeast, I've seen firsthand how Sarma's government has improved basic amenities in remote areas. Roads, electricity, and schools are better than five years ago. Let's hope the focus on sustainable development continues without ignoring the environmental impact of rapid growth.

The mention of AGP and BPF as allies shows that coalition politics is alive and well even in the Northeast. Hope this alliance actually works for the people rather than getting tangled in power games. Good luck to the new cabinet - especially the young ministers who bring fresh perspectives! 🤞

Really proud moment for Assam! The fact that PM Modi, Amit Shah, and so many CMs are attending shows how important Assam is for the national picture. But I hope the development isn't just for show - need more jobs for youth and better healthcare. That's what will truly make a difference in people's lives.
