The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is anticipated to win decisively in the Assam elections, as per various Exit Polls. Predictions indicate that the BJP could secure 85-100 seats out of the 126-member Assembly, positioning Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for a second consecutive term. In contrast, the Congress is projected to struggle, likely securing only about 20-35 seats.
Exit polls by different agencies like Axis My India and Poll Diary forecast a significant lead for the BJP, with estimates ranging from 86 to 121 seats. The Congress, on the other hand, is expected to lag behind with 15-25 seats. Matrize Exit Polls also support this trend, foreseeing the BJP winning 85-95 seats, showcasing a strong mandate for the ruling party.
The BJP is poised to improve its electoral performance compared to the previous elections, potentially gaining 20-30 more seats. The polls highlight a clear dominance of the BJP over the Congress-led alliance, with a notable 10% lead in vote share. The elections are viewed as a fierce battle primarily between the BJP and Congress, with the decline of AIUDF, a significant regional player, being cited as a key factor in the BJP’s anticipated success.
