GUWAHATI: The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) on Tuesday described the recent Assam Assembly election outcome as “historic,” saying it had expected an increase in its strength and a double‑digit tally. AGP president Atul Bora thanked Assam’s voters and party workers, and said the result reflected public endorsement of development policies. He asserted the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would form the state government under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with a decisive mandate.
Bora credited Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma’s leadership and the development work carried out during his tenure as major factors that influenced voters. He called the verdict unprecedented and said it would go down as a golden chapter in Assam’s political history.
The AGP leader also pointed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sustained focus on Assam and the wider North‑East, saying that the region had seen levels of progress not witnessed earlier. Bora said the government would pursue the Chief Minister’s vision of placing Assam among the country’s top five states and that the electoral outcome had strengthened the resolve to accelerate development over the next five years.
Bora added that the results signalled a bleak future for the Congress. The press conference was also attended by AGP working president Keshab Mahanta, who described the verdict as a historic mandate.
