GUWAHATI — The ruling party, projected to win an overwhelming 102 seats in the state elections, attributed its mandate on Tuesday to the "unbreakable, historic bond" it shares with alliance partners it finalized just months ago.

"Our coalition is based on shared ideology and mutual respect," said a ruling party spokesperson, carefully stepping over campaign banners from 2021 that prominently featured the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL). "When we struck a seat-sharing deal with the BPF in 2025, it was because we recognized a spiritual, developmental connection that made our previous partners mathematically redundant."

The UPPL, which helped deliver the ruling coalition's majority in 2021 with six assembly seats, walked out of the alliance ahead of the current polls to contest 21 seats independently. The party cited "ideological differences," a condition that reportedly developed immediately after they were left out of the new seat-sharing arrangement.

The Chief Minister, now preparing for a third consecutive term, assured voters that the government remains fully committed to its core principles of regional stability, infrastructure development, and forming a completely different lifelong coalition whenever the next political opportunity arises.
