Guwahati (Assam) [India], May 16 (ANI): Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday expressed gratitude to the people of Assam for the BJP-led NDA's landslide victory in the local elections and described it as a new record and milestone. Speaking to ANI, Scindia said, 'Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the people of Assam have given a landslide victory to the BJP and our alliance in the local elections, setting a new record and a new milestone.' 'I thank the people. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Assam will continue on the path of progress and development like this,' he said. The BJP-led NDA has registered a massive victory in the panchayat polls in Assam. The BJP and its ally party, Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), won 300 Zila Parishad seats and 1436 Anchalik Panchayat seats. Earlier at a press conference on Tuesday, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that BJP and its ally party AGP won 300 out of 397 Zila Parishad seats and 1436 out of 2192 Anchalik Panchayat seats in 27 districts of the state. 'Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Team NDA has secured a sweeping victory in the Assam Panchayat Polls 2025. The people's mandate is a resounding endorsement of our welfare-driven governance and a strong show of faith as we move towards 2026,' the Chief Minister said. 'NDA has received 76.22 per cent vote share in Zila Parishad and 66 per cent vote share in Anchalik Panchayat. In Anchalik Panchayat, the BJP won 1265 seats and AGP won 171 seats. Congress has won 72 Zila Parishad seats, and it is only 18 per cent. Congress has won 21 per cent of the Anchalik Panchayat seats. BJP and its ally party won 66 per cent of the Anchalik Panchayat seats,' Himanta Biswa Sarma said. He further said that the Assam Panchayat Polls results indicate a clear pro-incumbency wave in Assam. 'Compared to 2018, we have seen a broad increase in seat and vote share by over 26 per cent. These results come 1 year ahead of 2026 polls and 1 year after an exceptional performance in 2024 Lok Sabha polls,' the Assam Chief Minister said. He also said that, except in minority-dominated areas, the BJP-led NDA won almost 100 per cent of the seats of Zila Parishad in Hindu-dominated areas of the state. 'We have won five minority dominated seats (70-90 per cent minority voters). Before the election, we didn't expect to win more seats, but the state's people have shown their faith in us and voted for us. In many minority dominated seats, we have secured the second position. If we replicate this in the upcoming assembly election, it will reflect in 103 seats. Starting next month, our scheme announcement will be implemented. After the implementation of the schemes, the magnitude will be greater. Ahead of the assembly polls in Assam, this election result is a booster for us,' the Assam Chief Minister said. The panchayat polls in Assam were held in two phases - the first phase was held on May 2 and the second phase was held on May 7 across 27 districts of the state. The BJP and its alliance partners have registered an impressive victory in Dibrugarh, Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, Majuli, Golaghat, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Biswanath, Sonitpur, Nagaon, and Morigaon districts.
