Raijor Dal leader Akhil Gogoi expressed certainty that the opposition alliance is set to take power in Assam, citing anti-incumbency sentiment and post-poll evaluations favoring a significant mandate against the ruling party. Gogoi, confident in securing a majority in the Assam Assembly elections, stated that opposition parties are likely to win over 70 seats, ensuring a comfortable government formation. A review meeting was conducted to analyze the performance of opposition candidates, with feedback from various districts indicating a potential victory in more than 76 Assembly seats.
The assessment, based on information from grassroots workers and local leaders, reflects a strong pro-opposition sentiment driven by public discontent with governance, unemployment, rising prices, and alleged administrative shortcomings. Gogoi highlighted voters’ desire for change as evident in the election results, with the opposition optimistic about forming the next government in Assam post the vote count on May 4. The ruling alliance and opposition groups have been making conflicting claims post-polling, with the electoral outcome on counting day determining the state’s leadership continuity or a power shift.
Most exit polls have favored a significant win for the BJP and its allies in the Assembly elections, setting the stage for a closely watched political transition in Assam.
