Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) performance in the 2026 Assam Assembly elections, describing the victory as a historic “hat-trick” made possible by the divine blessings of Maa Kamakhya. Following the announcement of results on May 4, the Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the people of Assam for their unwavering trust in the party’s “double-engine” governance model. He emphasized that the mandate reflects a clear approval of the developmental work and peace initiatives undertaken by the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led administration over the past decade.
The victory marks a milestone in the state’s political history, as it is the first time a non-Congress government has secured three consecutive terms in Assam. In his address, PM Modi credited the victory to the hard work of grassroots party workers and the state’s commitment to progress, stability, and cultural preservation. The celebration comes amid a high-stakes electoral landscape across India, further consolidating the BJP’s influence in the Northeast region.
