According to an official statement from the Chief Minister’s Office, the resignation, along with that of the Council of Ministers, was submitted following the formal notification of the election results to facilitate the formation of the new government.
The visit comes just a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) registered a commanding win in the Assam Assembly elections, securing 82 seats in the 126-member House. The BJP-led NDA crossed the three-fourths majority mark, with the party alone achieving a two-thirds majority.
Assam CM Himanta Sarma says BJP’s win aligned with his earlier assessment, as the party secures a third term with strong numbers, further weakening the opposition.
