BJP Poised for Consecutive Win in Assam with Himanta Biswa Sarma Leading

As Assam prepares for the May 4 election results, exit polls indicate a likely victory for the BJP-led alliance, aiming for a consecutive term under Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Sarma, who switched from Congress to BJP in 2015, is expected to continue leading the state, potentially securing a political hat-trick similar to Congress' earlier three-term run. BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, have expressed confidence in Sarma's leadership, while the opposition urges caution ahead of the count.
