Welcoming the gesture, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pijush Hazarika said all BJP MLAs will also donate one month's salary. The Trinamool Congress' lone MLA in the State, Sherman Ali Ahmed, followed suit and announced donating his one month's salary for the flood-affected areas.

AIUDF Mazibur Rahman said, "Our party president Badruddin Ajmal has donated far more than that from AIUDF. But still, as other members have decided, we will also give our salaries of one month." AGP MLA Prithiraj Rava announced all the members of the party will follow suit, as did Paniram Brahma from BPF. However, the Raijor Dal did not make any announcement.
MLA Mehboob Muktar was present in the House, but did not say anything. The House Speaker thanked everyone for their support.
