Sonowal congratulates Assam CM
Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal on Monday congratulated Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for leading the BJP-led NDA to a “historic mandate’’ in the State Assembly elections.
Sonowal, in a statement, said that this historic mandate was a strong endorsement of development-driven governance and people-centric leadership.
“Assam has spoken! In this historic moment, I extend my heartiest congratulations to Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma. Your tireless energy and hard work have played a vital role in ensuring that Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji’s message of development reached every corner of the State,’’ he said.
“Our collective resolve for a safe, secure, and self-reliant Assam will only grow stronger in the days ahead. Our collective resolve to build a developed, secure and self-reliant Assam will grow even stronger in the days ahead,” Sonowal added.
He also expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister “for his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to the development of the Northeast.”
“The scale of the victory reflects the deep trust the people place in the PM’s leadership and the State Government’s consistent focus on inclusive growth, infrastructure development and welfare delivery,’’ he said.
Assam has witnessed significant progress across sectors, driven by strong coordination between the Centre and the state, and the renewed mandate provides an opportunity to further accelerate this double-engine momentum, Sonowal added.
“The people of Assam have once again chosen stability, progress and decisive governance. This mandate is not just a victory — it is a responsibility to serve with greater commitment and dedication,” Sonowal said.
The NDA Government will continue to work toward strengthening peace, prosperity and opportunity across the state, with a continued focus on economic growth, youth empowerment, infrastructure expansion and social harmony, he added.
Sonowal also acknowledged the contribution of party workers and supporters across Assam, whose grassroots engagement helped translate governance outcomes into a strong electoral mandate.
The Chief Minister thanked Sonowal for his best wishes in a post on X, saying, ‘’under the leadership of Adarniya @narendramodi ji, Team @BJP4Assam has marched together to serve the people of Assam since the last 10 years, which has resulted in this thumping and historic victory for NDA!’’
