Guwahati, May 12: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that the 10 years of the NDA government have transformed Assam from the “epicentre of violence” to a hub of learning, healthcare and development.
Attending the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma here, he said people continue to elect the BJP-led government repeatedly for their track record of accomplishments.
“In the last 10 years, Assam has been transformed from an epicentre of violence to a hub of learning, healthcare, and development,” Shah said in a post on X.
The northeastern state had witnessed insurgent activities for several decades.
The NDA government has laid a robust foundation of development and security, on which now a grand edifice of progress will be built, he added.
“Electing the BJP-led NDA for the third consecutive term, the people of Assam have reaffirmed that the BJP-NDA governments are the dispensations of trust… I bow to the people of Assam for the historic mandate,” the Union Home Minister said.
The government will leave no stone unturned to fulfil the aspirations of the people of Assam, he said while congratulating Sarma and his newly sworn-in ministers.
Sarma acknowledged Shah’s wishes and blessings and appreciated his presence during the swearing-in function.
“Under the leadership of Adarniya @narendramodi ji and your support, our Govt will continue to deliver good governance to the people of Assam,” he added.
Earlier during the day, Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya administered the oath of office and secrecy to Sarma as the chief minister, along with a new council of ministers.
Besides Sarma, four MLAs — the BJP’s Rameswar Teli and Ajanta Neog, AGP’s Atul Bora and Charan Boro of BPF — took oath as ministers.
