STAFF REPORTER GUWAHATI: In the run-up to the Assam Assembly election all odds were against the BJP – CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), NRC (National Register of Citizens), implementation of the Clause VI of the Assam AccNRC (National Register of Citizens), Assam Assembly electionord, granting ST status to six ethnic groups, failure in fixing tea labourers' wage and what not. But, how the ruling alliance could sail against the wind during the poll is no magic wand. An impression was given before the election that all such burning issues would spell disaster for the BJP. The anti-CAA agitation did rock upper Assam where the agitation against the government on the ST status was called from time to time. This is because most of the six ethnic communities like Tai Ahom, Moran, Mottocks, Chutia and others live in Upper Assam.
