AGP and Congress secure victories in Barpeta and Dhubri constituencies in Assam after recent delimitation exercise. AGP's win in Barpeta marks the return of a Hindu representative after 26 years, while Congress defeats AIUDF giant Badruddin Ajmal in Dhubri. Delimitation led to a shift in demographic balance favoring Hindu voters in Barpeta and increased minority voters in Dhubri.
AGP, the largest regional party from the northeast, is aiming to break its losing streak in the Lok Sabha polls. With a revitalized grassroots presence and favorable demographic composition in Barpeta, AGP remains optimistic about its chances. The party's performance will be a significant indicator of regional dynamics in national politics.
