Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday (May 4) thanked the people of the state for handing a third consecutive term to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance, calling the verdict a reflection of governance and development under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.&nbsp;Addressing a press conference, Sarma described the result as historic. “It is an unprecedented victory for a ruling alliance. It is for the first time that the BJP has secured a majority in the state,” he said, adding in a post on X, “Hat-trick with a century!”&nbsp;“With the blessings of the people of Assam, 102 NDA candidates have emerged victorious in the #AssamElections2026. I extend my warm congratulations to each and every candidate who has won today. Together, as Team Assam, we will work towards realising the goal of a Viksit Assam,” Sarma wrote in a post on X.<h2>BJP crosses majority mark as NDA expands footprint</h2>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party with 82 seats in the 126-member Assembly. The Indian National Congress (INC) followed with 19 seats, while the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) and Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) secured 10 seats each.&nbsp;In terms of vote share, the BJP secured 37.82 per cent, while the INC polled 29.83 per cent, indicating a clear advantage for the ruling party.

<h2>Key wins underline BJP dominance</h2>Sarma retained the Jalukbari seat with a massive margin of 89434 votes, securing 127151 votes against INC candidate Bidisha Neog, who polled 37717 votes. His victory further cemented his position as the central figure in Assam politics.&nbsp;In another key contest, veteran BJP leader Hitendra Nath Goswami defeated INC’s Gaurav Gogoi in Jorhat by over 23000 votes. The win marked Goswami’s sixth term in the Assembly and halted Gogoi’s attempt to enter state politics.&nbsp;The result builds on the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance’s performance in 2021, when it secured 75 seats to form the government, securing a historic second consecutive term. The latest outcome reflects an expansion of that mandate, with the BJP strengthening its hold across the state.

The BJP-led NDA secured a commanding victory in the Assam Assembly elections, winning 102 of 126 seats with support from AGP and BPF.

As counting trends confirmed a decisive shift in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the outcome as a reflection of “people’s power” and a landmark political moment. Taking to X, he wrote, “The Lotus blooms in West Bengal. The 2026 West Bengal Assembly Elections will be remembered forever. People’s power has prevailed and BJP’s politics of good governance has triumphed.” He added, “I bow to each and every person of West Bengal.”&nbsp;The Bharatiya Janata Party, which has won 41 seats and is leading in 163 seats in West Bengal at the time of his reaction, is poised to form its first government in the state, marking a historic break from decades of non-BJP rule. The outcome signals the end of the Trinamool Congress’s long-standing dominance under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had governed the state for three consecutive terms. Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress has secured 16 seats and is leading in 67 seats, as per the latest trends.

&nbsp;<h3>Beyond Bengal: Assam and wider electoral gains</h3>Extending his remarks beyond West Bengal, Modi also referred to the BJP-NDA’s performance in Assam, calling it a reaffirmation of the alliance’s development agenda. He stated, “Assam blesses BJP-NDA once again,” and thanked voters for a “resounding mandate.” He concluded that the BJP and its allies had “grown over the last decade,” with their development-focused message resonating strongly across states.&nbsp;<h3>Amit Shah, Nitin Nabin and Himanta Biswa Sarma React</h3>&nbsp;Union Home Minister Amit Shah, reacting on X to the West Bengal election outcome, called the mandate a “resounding public response” against what he described as “fear, appeasement, and protection to infiltrators.” He said the result reflected “the victory of trust in Shri Narendra Modi over the TMC’s politics of fear,” crediting BJP workers for what he termed a historic political shift in the state. Shah said it was “a moment of pride” for BJP workers, adding that from Gangotri to Gangasagar, “the saffron flag is proudly waving everywhere.” He said the victory was built on “sacrifices, struggles, and martyrdom of countless workers” who “never abandoned the saffron flag despite violence and hardship.” Shah added that the people of Bengal had “taught a lesson to infiltrators and their sympathisers,” and said BJP would work “day and night to restore the lost glory of Bengal” and fulfil the vision of “Sonar Bangla.”&nbsp;Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the people have given their “blessings for a third time,” crediting their faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.

Sarma said the verdict represents a vote for development, identity, and empowerment of Nari Shakti, adding that it reflects the aspirations of people “from Barak to Brahmaputra.” He further stated that Assam’s commitment to a “Viksit Assam” will continue with greater determination, aiming to place the state among India’s top five developed states.&nbsp;Nitin Nabin, BJP National President, reacted on X thanking voters across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, West Bengal and Assam for their participation, calling it a “festival of democracy.” He said the NDA mandate reflects trust in good governance and development, hailing it as a historic victory and a reaffirmation of faith in the alliance’s vision of progress and stability.&nbsp;
