BJP confident of sweeping Guwahati, Himanta predicts big wins across Assam

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed strong confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to win all five Assembly seats in Guwahati with comfortable margins ranging from 60,000 to 1,00,000 votes. 

Speaking ahead of the upcoming elections, Sarma said, “For Guwahati, it is a set battlefield for BJP. With God’s grace, my margin in Jalukbari will be good. Vijay Gupta (Central Guwahati) is 100 per cent, and Diplu Ranjan (New Guwahati) and Pradyut Bordoloi (Dispur) will win by 50,000–60,000 votes. Dimoria is a one-sided contest. All five seats in Guwahati will go to NDA.”

Turning to other parts of the state, Sarma predicted decisive outcomes in Lower Assam, including Dhubri, Golakganj, Bongaigaon, Abhayapuri, Barpeta, Bhabanipur, Bajali, Nalbari, and all 15 seats in BTAD, estimating a total of 90–100 seats for the NDA in the region. He also highlighted expected margins in Tihu and Nalbari, stating that BJP’s Jayanta Malla Baruah could win by up to 50,000 votes.

In Upper Assam, Sarma said Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Golaghat, and Lakhimpur are “no contest” for BJP, while the Jorhat seat remains competitive but is expected to see the BJP gaining across four to five assembly segments this time.

Commenting on the political scenario in Dhing, Sarma predicted a limited impact for Akhil Gogoi’s Raijor Dal, which he expects to win only one seat, while Congress could secure 16–17 seats and AIUDF five to six. In Sivasagar, he called it a “neck-to-neck triangular fight,” but expressed confidence that the NDA would prevail.

Speaking on the Tamulpur and Hagrama regions, Sarma noted that voters are expected to support BJP’s Biswajit Daimary, citing the political stature of existing leaders Parmod Boro and Hagrama Mohilary.

The Chief Minister also referenced Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Assam, stating that the BJP is closely tracking developments in the state, focusing on the party’s campaign rather than opposition figures.
