The swearing-in marks the continuation of leadership for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state. This transition ensures stability in regional governance following a decisive electoral victory.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Sarma after the ceremony took place at the Veterinary College Ground in Khanapara, Guwahati [1], [2]. The event was attended by thousands of supporters who gathered to witness the transition of power [1].
