Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would secure “9 to 11 seats” in Barak Valley in the upcoming Assam Assembly elections.
Speaking to mediapersons, Sarma reiterated confidence in the party’s broader prospects, projecting between “90 and 100 seats” across Assam, while underlining Barak Valley’s crucial role in the BJP’s overall electoral strategy.
The Chief Minister claimed that the party expects significant gains in Barak Valley while asserting that its organisational strength and sustained grassroots outreach have resonated with voters.
“BJP is certain to win the Hailakandi seat while in Algapur, that there is considerable “hype” among the people even as the electoral results would ultimately reflect the party’s on-ground performance,” he said.
Taking a dig at the Opposition, Sarma questioned the intensity of their campaign and the manner in which some public meetings have been conducted.
“Instead of creating hype, the BJP focuses on holding more meetings and directly engaging with voters.
