Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, praised the National Democratic Alliance’s impressive showing in the most recent northeastern by-elections, calling the wins in Assam and Meghalaya important political milestones. On November 24, Sarma told reporters, “We have maintained our winning marathon, or winning sprint,” highlighting the BJP’s steady electoral gains in Assam. He cited these findings as important predictors for the state assembly elections in 2026.
The victory’s timeliness was emphasized by the chief minister, who stated, “This result has given a big boost on the eve of the Assembly election. “In the backdrop of the Lok Sabha election, where we were almost routed in Meghalaya, I believe this is a good comeback,” Sarma said, describing this as very significant. During these by-elections, Sarma tweeted about the BJP’s increased presence in Meghalaya, reinforcing the regional success.
