The Congress did not get a majority in either, but the state PCC leadership said the party would seek the support of two independents to run the Narayanpur municipality board in Lakhimpur district.

Many AGP nominees, too, were defeated by BJP at AGP strongholds in the upper and lower Assam districts, where an electoral alliance between the two state-level alliances could not be sewn.

BJP has also done well in districts with a significant population of religious minority voters.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP national president JP Nadda, home minister Amit Shah and CM Sarma congratulated the people on the landslide victory. “I am grateful to the people of Assam for blessing the BJP and our allies in the recently concluded municipal elections.

It demonstrates their confidence in our party’s development agenda. I commend our hardworking officers for their efforts and service to the people, “Modi tweeted.

Sarma said that Joy reflects people’s confidence in Modi’s support, development, faith and vision of all efforts.
