The AGP publicly supported Himanta Biswa Sarma’s continuation as Chief Minister, indicating strong unity within the NDA alliance in Assam.
Senior AGP leaders reportedly expressed satisfaction with the alliance’s performance and praised the leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma during the previous government term.
Political analysts believe the AGP’s support carries significance because the regional party remains an important ally within the NDA in Assam. The alliance between the BJP and AGP has played a major role in shaping Assam’s political landscape over the past several years.
Observers noted that the early declaration of support may help avoid uncertainty regarding leadership selection ahead of the legislature party meeting.
Party leaders from the NDA alliance are expected to formally elect the legislature party leader before the swearing-in ceremony takes place.
The BJP leadership has not officially announced the cabinet structure yet. However, discussions regarding ministerial positions and possible new inductions are reportedly ongoing.
Legislature party meetings to decide government formation
The BJP Legislature Party and NDA Legislature Party meetings are expected to take place before the swearing-in ceremony. During these meetings, alliance legislators will formally discuss the formation of the new government.
Senior BJP leaders are likely to attend the meetings along with representatives from alliance parties. Political observers expect the legislature party to formally elect Himanta Biswa Sarma as its leader.
The meetings may also decide the composition of the new council of ministers. Sources indicated that the BJP leadership wants to maintain a balance between experienced ministers and new faces in the cabinet.
Regional representation, organisational contribution, and alliance coordination are likely to influence cabinet decisions.
The NDA leadership reportedly aims to complete the government formation process smoothly before the swearing-in event on May 12.
Top national leaders expected in Guwahati
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the Assam government swearing-in ceremony along with several senior BJP leaders.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president J. P. Nadda are also likely to participate in the event.
Officials said chief ministers, deputy chief ministers, and senior leaders from NDA-ruled states may also attend the programme in Guwahati.
Authorities have started reviewing security arrangements related to the visit of top national leaders. Police teams and central security agencies are working together to ensure smooth movement during the event.
Political analysts believe the strong presence of national leaders highlights Assam’s growing political importance within the BJP-led NDA alliance.
The Northeast region has become a key focus area for the BJP over the past few years because of its expanding political influence and strategic importance.

Party workers said the event will symbolise the NDA alliance’s continued political strength in the state.
Political significance of the new government
The formation of the new NDA government in Assam carries major political significance for both the BJP and its alliance partners. Political analysts believe the continuation of Himanta Biswa Sarma as Chief Minister reflects the BJP leadership’s confidence in his governance and political strategy.
