Guwahati, May 3: On the eve of the Assam Assembly election results, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma held a virtual meeting on Sunday with BJP candidates, MPs, state officials, and district heads to review preparations for the counting day.
According to BJP sources, the online meeting focused on coordination, booth-level monitoring, counting arrangements, and post-results organizational strategies, as the state awaits a significant electoral decision.
State BJP President Dilip Saikia was also present at the meeting. Senior party leaders discussed district-wise updates and instructed local units to remain vigilant and maintain constant communication with counting agents and election representatives.
The ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is attempting to secure power for the third consecutive time in Assam, while the Congress-led opposition alliance is confident of presenting a strong challenge.
Counting for the 126-member Assam Assembly will commence on Monday morning under tight security across the state.
As per Election Commission guidelines, postal ballots will be counted first, followed by votes cast through Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
Several exit polls predict a decisive victory for the BJP in Assam, indicating that Chief Minister Sarma is likely to return to power for a second consecutive term.
Most analysts estimate that the ruling BJP will easily surpass the majority mark of 64 seats in the 126-member Assam Assembly, with projections suggesting the party could win over 80 seats on its own.
If these predictions hold true, it would represent another significant mandate for the BJP in this politically crucial northeastern state, further strengthening the leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma, who took office after the 2021 Assembly elections.
