Himata Biswa 'BJP-Led Alliance Will Get Nearly 90 Seats in Assam'

Stepping up the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) campaign in Upper Assam, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday claimed that the BJP-led alliance will get over 90 seats while the Congress will be reduced to around 15 seats — possibly between 15-17 seats. 

Launching a frontal attack on Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his alleged anti-Assam stand in past, Mr Sarma said that the AIUDF will emerge victorious in 5-6 seats while the Akhil Gogoi-led Raijor Dal will win just one—Dhing seats and not Sivasagar from where Akhil Gogoi had won in 2021 and is seeking



re-election this year as well.

Going a step further, Nr Sarma also predicted that the Lurin Jyoti Gogoi-led Asom Jatiya Parishad (AJP) will draw a blank in the assembly polls.

Addressing an election rally at Majuli, Mr Sarma announced a series of development projects for the river island while campaigning for party candidate Bhuban Gam. 

Mr Sarma outlined a multi-pronged roadmap to position Majuli as a future educational and cultural hub, with a focus on healthcare, higher education, infrastructure and erosion control.
