As Himanta Biswa Sarma prepares to take oath as Assam Chief Minister for the second time on May 12, we look back at the campaign that redefined Northeast politics. From the high-stakes “civilizational battle” over demographics to explosive allegations against Gaurav Gogoi and the “Pakistan link,” Himanta’s 2026 campaign was anything but quiet. From fiery speeches that polarized the electorate to slamming opposition leaders but ultimately delivering a landslide 102-seat victory for the NDA.
Himanta took on Mamata Banerjee over her lack of action on securing the Bangladesh border and made light-hearted comments on feeding “peda” to Pawan Khera who had raised questions over Sarma’s wife’s nationality and that she held multiple passports. Anti-infiltration comments certainly took the lead as did concerns over the issue of demographic shift in West Bengal and Assam.
Watch the full breakdown of the unapologetic Himanta Biswa Sarma brand of politics that’s both fiery and savage!
