Himanta Biswa Sarma resigned as Assam Chief Minister following the BJP-led NDA’s decisive victory in the 2026 Assembly elections, a routine constitutional step before forming a new government. He submitted his resignation along with his council of ministers to the Governor, who accepted it and asked him to continue as caretaker CM. The move paves the way for the formation of a fresh government, with Sarma expected to be sworn in again for a second term. The oath-taking ceremony is likely after May 11. The BJP secured a strong mandate, reinforcing Sarma’s leadership in Assam politics. (PC: ANI)
