BJP-led alliance said it also suffered a few setbacks because of the front of the CAA-sired Assam Jatiya Parishad and jailed activist Akhil Gogoi’s Raijor Dal.

The BJP-led ‘Mitrajot’ (group of friends) won 75 of the 126 Assembly seats in the State while the ‘Mahajot’ had to settle with 50. Mr. Gogoi was the lone winner for the regional front that engaged in “friendly fight” in a few constituencies.
