Sarma Predicts BJP to Take 90–100 of 126 Assam Seats

Vote counting on May 4 follows a record turnout, with a court fight over allegations against his wife pending.

Overview

Speaking at Khatu Shyam temple in Rajasthan, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the BJP could win about 90 to 100 of the Assembly’s 126 seats.
He rejected Congress leader Pawan Khera’s claims about his wife holding multiple passports and offshore assets, calling the materials fake and created with “Photoshop and AI.”
His wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, filed a police complaint over the claims, and the Telangana High Court granted Pawan Khera one week of temporary anticipatory bail.
Assam voted on April 9 with turnout topping about 85.64 percent, and the Election Commission set the counting of votes for May 4.
Sarma also voiced confidence about the BJP’s chances in West Bengal and urged parties and voters to keep peace until results are declared.
