In a strategic move on the eve of Assam’s assembly poll results, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma rallied BJP’s top brass via video conference Sunday. Candidates, parliamentarians, state leaders, and district chiefs tuned in to fine-tune operations for the big counting day.
Sources within the BJP highlighted the agenda: seamless coordination, robust booth monitoring, airtight counting arrangements, and blueprints for action post-verdict. The state holds its breath as a crucial battle concludes.
Accompanied by state president Dilip Saikia, Sarma’s team reviewed granular district reports. Directives emphasized alertness and unbroken communication lines with on-ground agents.
As the NDA, spearheaded by BJP, pushes for a hat-trick in power, the opposition Congress front vows a fierce fightback. Monday dawns with vote tallies beginning statewide under heavy security for the 126-member house.
Postal votes first, followed by EVMs, as mandated by the Election Commission. A barrage of exit polls forecast BJP dominance, with the party poised to surpass 80 seats solo against a 64-seat majority threshold.
Victory here would cement BJP’s stronghold in Northeast India, affirming public faith in Sarma’s vision that took root after his 2021 ascent. Assam’s voters have spoken—now the numbers will tell the full story.
