Senior BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Assam for a second consecutive term on Tuesday. The swearing in ceremony will mark the formation of the third National Democratic Alliance government in the northeastern state. The event is expected to witness the presence of several senior political leaders from across the country.
According to party sources, four ministers will also take oath alongside Himanta Biswa Sarma as part of the new cabinet. The Bharatiya Janata Party leadership has finalized key appointments for the new government, with Ranjeet Kumar Dass emerging as the candidate for the Speaker of the Assam Legislative Assembly.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the swearing in ceremony, highlighting the political significance of the event for the BJP led alliance. Senior leaders from the BJP and allied parties are also likely to be present during the ceremony in Assam.
Himanta Biswa Sarma has played a major role in strengthening the BJP’s position in Assam over the past several years. Under his leadership, the NDA government focused on infrastructure development, welfare schemes, law and order, and economic growth in the state. His return as Chief Minister reflects the confidence placed in him by the party leadership and alliance partners.
Political analysts believe that the formation of the new cabinet will be closely watched, especially in terms of regional representation and balance among alliance partners. The inclusion of ministers from different communities and regions is expected to remain a key focus for the government.
Ranjeet Kumar Dass, who has been chosen as the Speaker candidate, is considered an experienced political leader within the BJP. His appointment is expected to strengthen legislative proceedings in the Assembly. The Speaker’s role is considered crucial in ensuring smooth functioning of the House and maintaining parliamentary discipline.
The new government is expected to continue several ongoing development projects across Assam. Issues related to employment, education, healthcare, connectivity, and industrial growth are likely to remain among the top priorities of the administration. The government may also focus on strengthening social welfare initiatives and improving public services across urban and rural regions.
The swearing in ceremony comes at a politically important time for the BJP led NDA, as the alliance seeks to further strengthen its presence in the northeastern region. Assam continues to play a strategic role in the political landscape of Northeast India, making the formation of the new government significant at both the state and national levels.
Security arrangements for the ceremony have reportedly been tightened due to the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior leaders. Large numbers of party workers and supporters are expected to attend the event.
The official announcement regarding the complete cabinet portfolio allocation is expected after the swearing in ceremony.
