Guwahati: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a decisive victory in the Assam Assembly elections, winning 82 seats in the 126-member House and clinching a third consecutive term in power.
With a clear majority, the party is all set to form the government once again, with incumbent Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma emerging as the frontrunner to continue in office.
Political observers attribute the win to a mix of strong governance messaging, welfare initiatives, and a well-organised campaign. The BJP had rolled out a set of key pre-poll promises, which are believed to have resonated with voters across the state.
The influence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre’s development push is also seen as a contributing factor in the party’s success.
