Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Monday (May 12) hailed the third consecutive victory of the NDA in Assam, welcoming the Chief Minister-designate Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government ahead of its swearing-in ceremony.

Speaking with ANI, Mr. Paswan lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and attributed people’s trust in him as the reason for the BJP’s hat-trick in Assam and historic victory in West Bengal. He asserted that the entire country has faith in the “double-engine government” for development.

“The way the people of Assam have once again chosen a government that follows Prime Minister Modi’s vision and the path of development led by Himanta Biswa Sarma shows that a historic victory has been achieved in Assam, and we have also formed the government in Bengal. Across the country, people want a double-engine government so that development can gain even more momentum,” he said.
