Congress’s Jitendra Singh during a press meet at Rajib Bhawan in Guwahati on Friday
GUWAHATI: The BJP and Congress, which are leading the Mitrajot and Mahajot respectively in the state election, were confident of winning and forming the next government in Assam. But most exit polls have predicted the return of the saffron alliance.
BJP state president Ranjeet Kumar Dass said the BJP-led alliance will win at least 80 seats in the 126-member assembly. Health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma skipped a media query about whether the BJP leadership would choose incumbent chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal or him, saying ‘an Assamese’ would be the chief minister. Congress in-charge Jitendra Singh, on the other hand, said the exit polls would be proved wrong like the Bihar assembly election results.
