Terming the BJP-led NDA’s performance in Assam as a “historic mandate”, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said the people have once again blessed the alliance to form the government for a third consecutive term under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

Speaking to reporters after the BJP’s sweeping victory, CM Sarma said the verdict reflects the electorate’s support for sustained efforts to safeguard Assam’s identity while accelerating development.
