Himanta Biswa Sarma took oath for a second consecutive term as Assam chief minister after the Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition won the 2026 state assembly election.
The new Sarma ministry retained its pro-development messaging focused on flood management, tea industry modernization and border-area connectivity projects.
Allies said the victory validates welfare schemes targeting women entrepreneurs and microfinance borrowers introduced during his first term.
The opposition Congress alliance conceded defeat but pledged to contest policy rollouts in the legislature, particularly on citizenship documentation and land rights in tribal districts.
