The swearing-in ceremony will take place on May 12 and is expected to be a grand political event attended by top BJP leaders from across the country.

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) registered a massive victory in the Assam Assembly elections, winning 102 out of the 126 seats and securing a strong two-thirds majority in the state Assembly. Significantly, the Bharatiya Janata Party managed to secure a majority on its own in Assam for the first time.

Political observers see the victory as a sign of growing support for the BJP and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's leadership in the northeastern state. The NDA's strong performance has strengthened the alliance's hold in Assam politics ahead of future national elections.
