The Governor has accepted the resignation, and requested Sarma to continue as the caretaker CM till the new government assumes office, it said.

Later, speaking to reporters outside the Lok Bhawan, Sarma said the oath-taking ceremony is likely to take place after May 11.

“As it was a historic win, we have invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to grace the occasion," he said.

The new Assam chief minister will be selected at a meeting of the BJP legislature party in presence of central observers, Sarma said.
