Himanta Biswa Sarma brings BJP back for third straight term in Assam with 82 seats

Welfare and demographic pressure tipped the scale

Himanta Biswa Sarma has led the BJP to a historic Assam win, securing 82 seats and a third consecutive term. His campaign leaned heavily on welfare promises like Orunodoi while pairing them with a hard line on demographic change. The result follows years of major policy pushes and infrastructure development that have helped cement Sarma’s political momentum.
