"Government has already been formed in first five phases," says Assam CM

Patna (Bihar) [India], May 25 (ANI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday expressed confidence in BJP's victory in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and claimed that the government has already been formed in the first five phases of elections.
Speaking with ANI, Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "The government has already been formed in the first five phases of elections... The sixth and seventh phases are just for seat margins... We (BJP) are quickly going towards the 400 mark..."
The Assam Chief Minister also took a sarcastic jibe at Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav and said, "Tejashwi has nothing to do except singing... The government is of BJP, elections are in 2027... There is a good government of JD(U) and BJP... In Delhi, PM Modi will run the government so Tejashwi will have to sing songs only. So, it is nice that he (Tejashwi) has started singing and practising"
Sarma also expressed his views on the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and said, "It is written in our Constitution to bring Uniform Civil Code. Today, Rahul Gandhi reads the 'red Constitution', Tejashwi Yadav reads the 'red Constitution'... But we read the Constitution by BR Ambedkar and that is why, we want to bring UCC."
Notably, Sarma had alleged that Rahul Gandhi carries Chinese Constitution in his rallies. Taking to his official X handle, Sarma on May 17 had posted, "The original copy of the Constitution of India has a blue cover. The original Chinese constitution has a red cover. Does Rahul carry a Chinese Constitution? We will need to verify."
Sarma also spoke about his visit to the late BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi and said, "I also went to his place and paid tribute to him."
Sarma also took to his official X handle and posted about his visit to the residence of Sushil Kumar Modi. He said, "I had the privilege of working closely with respected Sushil Modi ji. I learnt a lot from him..."
He added, "Struggle was an important part of Sushil Modi's public life. He fought for democracy during the Emergency and when the clouds of Jungle Raj were looming over Bihar... His absence from among us today is a big loss for the BJP and the state of Bihar."
Expressing his condolences, Sarma said, "Today, I met Jessie George and her bereaved family at her Patna residence and expressed my condolences. The entire BJP family is with the bereaved family in this hour of grief."
Elections in Bihar are contested in all seven phases. With 40 Lok Sabha constituencies, the fourth highest among all States and Union Territories, Bihar holds a crucial position in shaping Indian politics.
RJD from the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), the opposition coalition in Bihar, will contest 26 out of the state's 40 Lok Sabha seats. As part of the NDA, the BJP and JD (U) will contest for 17 and 16 seats, respectively. The results of the Lok Sabha elections will be declared on June 4th. (ANI)
