The swearing-in ceremony marks the formation of the third successive NDA government in the State
Himanta Sarma was administered oath by the Assam Governor. He is the first non-Congress leader in the state to assume the charge for a second successive term.
The Congress leaders said here that the Bharatiya Janata Party government had tried to suppress the matter for several days instead of finding out the truth
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also targeted the Congress for “supporting” the anti-Hindu comment and questioned the “silence” of newly elected Chief Minister Vijay on the issue
