The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is likely to retain power in Assam under the leadership of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, but with a greater majority, according to an opinion poll conducted by Matrize on Monday. The data claimed that the BJP-led coalition will likely emerge victorious on 92 to 102 seats. The NDA in Assam includes the BJP, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), and the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF).
On the contrary, the tally of the Congress and its allies will likely be between 22 to 32. The Congress is in alliance with the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), the Raijor Dal, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), the All Party Hill Leaders Conference (APHLC) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation, and the bloc is called the Asom Sonmilito Morcha (ASM). Others may also win around four to seven seats, Matrize’s opinion poll data suggested.
The data also predicted that the NDA may receive around 46 per cent of the votes in Assam, while the Congress-led alliance will likely to get 36 per cent. Others may receive around 18 per cent votes.
