As per the India Today-Axis My India exit poll for Assam Assembly election, Bharatiya Janata Party is expected to get 75-85 seats out of the total 126 seats being contested. On the other hand, Congress party is expected to get 40-50 seats and others may get 1-4 seats.
Following a controversy over a polling team in Assam carrying an EVM in the vehicle belonging to the wife of a BJP candidate, the Congress on Saturday held a protest against the incident and alleged that the ruling party in the state is indulging in electoral manipulation. Amid slogan-shouting by the party workers, Assam Pradesh Congress Committee president Ripun Bora urged the Election Commission to take strict action against the BJP leaders who carry out illegal activities that hamper the polling process. The protest rally was not allowed to move forward on the busy arterial G S Road and stopped at the gate of the state Congress headquarters Rajiv Bhawan .
