Guwahati: The verdict was clear. It is another term for the BJP-led NDA in Assam. BJP won 60 of the total 126 seats and its allies AGP won 9 and UPPL won 6 seats.
With a total of 73, NDA (National Democratic Alliance made up of BJP and its allies) is once again in a very comfortable position to form the government in Assam for the second time in a row. This is the first time that a non-Congress party has romped back to power in Assam.
Even during campaigning, the party had avoided questions if the incumbent chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, will be given a second term. It had maintained that the parliamentary board will decide the chief minister after the election.
