With the West Bengal Assembly elections approaching, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday asserted that the BJP is set to form the government in the state this time.

He expressed strong confidence in the party’s prospects, stating that the outcome is “100 per cent confirmed”.

“This time BJP is going to form a government, 100 per cent confirmed.”

West Bengal is set to vote in a streamlined two-phase Assembly election, covering all 294 constituencies — an unusual departure from the multi-phase polling seen in previous elections. 

Voting for the first phase will be held on April 23, followed by the second phase on April 29. The counting of votes is scheduled for May 4.
