Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan congratulated the new government and said Assam would continue to scale new heights of development. Union Minister Chirag Paswan praised Sarma’s leadership, saying it aligns with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of accelerating growth and progress in the state.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis termed the NDA’s victory a matter of great joy and said the people had endorsed the development work carried out under the leadership of Modi and Sarma.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said the Prime Minister’s leadership has inspired confidence across the country and noted that the people of Assam had rewarded good governance with a historic mandate.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant also extended their best wishes, expressing confidence that Assam would continue to progress under Sarma’s leadership.
Several other NDA leaders, including Upendra Kushwaha, Keshav Prasad Maurya, Diya Kumari and NCP MP Praful Patel, congratulated the Chief Minister and expressed hope that the new government would further strengthen Assam’s development and transform the state into a leading growth engine in the Northeast.
