Assam Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Dilip Saikia on Thursday, 7 May confirmed that the swearing-in ceremony of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in Assam will be held on 12 May at the Veterinary College Playground, Khanapara, Guwahati, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The event is expected to draw more than one lakh people, according to Saikia.
Ceremony Details and Schedule
Addressing reporters, Saikia said the oath-taking ceremony is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. on 12 May. Prime Minister Modi is expected to arrive at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati at around 10.15 a.m., after which he will proceed to the Narengi helipad before reaching the Khanapara venue.
Saikia described the occasion as historic, noting widespread public enthusiasm across Guwahati and other parts of the state.
Point of View
Home Minister, and virtually the full NDA constellation flying into Guwahati — signals that the BJP views Assam as a showcase state for coalition governance in the Northeast. The legislature party meetings on 10 May, with Nadda presiding, suggest the leadership question may not be entirely settled yet, and the formal election of the party leader just two days before the oath is a tight timeline worth watching. For the BJP, Assam is not just a state win; it is a template for how to hold together a diverse NDA coalition in a politically complex region.
