Union Ministers, CMs start arriving in Guwahati for Assam govt swearing-in Guwahati, May 12: The stage is set for a grand swearing-in ceremony of Himanta Biswa Sarma as the Chief Minister of Assam for a second consecutive term. Union Ministers, including those from key portfolios such as Home and Finance, have started arriving in Guwahati, along with several Chief Ministers from other states. The ceremony is scheduled to take place in Khanapara at around 11:40 a.m. tomorrow, amidst tight security arrangements. Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, are expected to attend the event. Assam's current Governor, Jagadish Mukhi, will administer the oath of office to Sarma and his council of ministers.

Sarma, a seasoned politician and former Union Minister, has been instrumental in shaping the BJP's campaign strategy in Assam, focusing on issues such as border disputes, unemployment, and economic development. His return to power has been seen as a significant boost to the BJP's prospects in the region. With the swearing-in ceremony, Sarma is expected to outline his vision for the state's development and governance. The swearing-in ceremony is expected to have a direct impact on the lives of Assam's citizens, who are eagerly waiting for Sarma's new government to deliver on its promises.

Experts have pointed out that Sarma's second term will be crucial in addressing the state's economic challenges, including unemployment and poverty. The opposition has also expressed concerns about the BJP's plans for the state's border districts, which have been a contentious issue in the past. As the stage is set for a new government in Assam, the question on every citizen's mind is: Will Sarma's second term bring about significant changes to the state's governance and development trajectory? Will the BJP's policies address the state's pressing issues, or
