Guwahati: For the family members of Himanta Biswa Sarma, his swearing-in as the chief minister of Assam for the second consecutive term was the result of overwhelming blessings from the people and his relentless dedication to the state's development. They expressed confidence that Sarma will continue working with the same enthusiasm for the state and its citizens, as he became the only non-Congress chief minister to assume office for a second straight term.
Mother's Joy
Octogenarian Mrinalini Devi arrived in a wheelchair to attend her son's swearing-in ceremony at the Veterinary College playground in Khanapara on Tuesday. "I am feeling very happy today. I want to share this joy with the people, the youth, and everyone. This happiness belongs to all. He will continue to work for the state and its people and contribute to nation-building. My blessings are always with him," she said.
Wife's Remarks
Himanta's wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, credited the people's wishes for his success and described it as a humbling moment for the entire family. "It is because of his hard work, the blessings of the almighty, and the blessings of the people of Assam that he has reached this position. He has always maintained the lifestyle of a common man and worked hard. People have complete faith in the BJP and trust in Himanta, and he will continue to work even harder to remain in the hearts of the people of Assam," she added.
Children's Reactions
Their children, Nandil and Sukanya, expressed delight at their father's achievement. Nandil said, "In the last five years, Papa has done very good work as chief minister, and we hope he continues to work for the people of Assam in the same way. Over the last five years, the BJP government has done exemplary work for the people of the state, which is why the people have given him the mandate."
Sukanya added, "I have seen my father working day and night for the development of the state. Sometimes, even in his sleep, he talks about how to develop Assam and do better for the people. He works extremely hard, and today we all witnessed the moment he deserved." However, she noted that Himanta also gives time to his family and never isolates them.
