Guwahati: Himanta Biswa Sarma will be the next Chief Minister of Assam. Sarbananda Sonowal the present CM had proposed the name of Sarma at the legislature party meeting held in Guwahati on Sunday, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave his approval for Sarma's elevation, and it was seconded by the MLAs.

The BJP won a second straight term in the just concluded state assembly polls. The party won 60 seats in the 126-member Assam assembly while its alliance partners AGP got nine and the UPPL six seats.

Sarma, who joined the BJP from the Congress in 2015, is said to be the architect who brought the northeast states in the party's grasp. He held the health portfolio in the Sarbananda Sonowal government.
