NDA to Contest All 126 Assam Assembly Seats; Seat-Sharing Talks Ongoing
Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia announced that the ruling NDA will contest all 126 assembly seats in the 2026 elections, though seat-sharing agreements with allies like AGP, UPPL, and BPF remain unresolved. Saikia emphasized the alliance's focus on development and a 'safe, self-reliant Assam,' acknowledging challenges from delimitation changes but expressing confidence in amicable solutions. The NDA's campaign aims to address indigenous minority concerns and build on grassroots partnerships established in recent local elections.
