Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, calling the people’s verdict in Assam as a historic mandate, stated that it reflects Himanta Biswa Sarma’s leadership, his unwavering commitment to public service, and the immense trust reposed in him by the people of the state.

Attending the swearing-in ceremony of the newly-elected BJP government in Guwahati on Tuesday, Gupta extended best wishes to Sarma on taking oath as the Chief Minister of Assam for the second consecutive term.

She said Assam has made remarkable strides in areas such as development, governance, infrastructure, investment, cultural preservation, and public welfare in recent years.

Under Sarma’s leadership, she noted, the state has emerged as a new development model for the North East.

Gupta said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the Northeast has been brought firmly into the mainstream of the country’s development journey. Assam is witnessing rapid growth in infrastructure, connectivity, tourism, education and employment, while playing an increasingly significant role in the overall progress of the country.

According to Gupta, Sarma’s second straight term is the result of his hard work, dedication to public service and the people’s continued faith. “The people have once again endorsed the politics of development, stability and national interest,” she said, adding that the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ and a developed Assam would gain even greater momentum in the years to come.

Meanwhile, CM Gupta offered prayers at the revered Kamakhya temple and other temples like Baglamukhi Temple and the revered Umananda Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. She performed traditional rituals and offered prayers for the country’s prosperity, all-round development, and the welfare of the people.

She said the mandate reflected the blessings of the Goddess and the unwavering trust of the people of Assam.
