GUWAHATI — Marking a two-thirds majority victory that secured the ruling alliance's third consecutive term since 2016, the Chief Minister officially took his oath for a second term on Tuesday, promising a "stronger, more developed and prosperous Assam" by immediately granting four loyal MLAs direct access to state resources.

The swearing-in ceremony served as a high-profile celebration of uninterrupted political dominance. Records division officials confirmed that the most tangible developmental outcome of the 2026 election cycle was ensuring that regional alliance partners from the AGP and BPF retained their cabinet positions, thereby securing their continued political influence for another five years.

"Our focus is entirely on maintaining our stronghold in the region," said a senior party spokesperson, carefully sidestepping inquiries regarding specific challenges or unfulfilled policy promises from the previous administration. "We have successfully achieved our core governance mandate: absolute political stability. When our coalition partners are guaranteed uninterrupted access to state resources, the state is fundamentally prosperous."

Following the ceremony, the four newly elevated ministers commenced their administrative duties by posing for photographs, confirming that any potential dissent had been successfully overshadowed by the swift distribution of cabinet portfolios.
