Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted the ruling NDA's strong position ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections, with the alliance confident in at least 103 of 126 seats. Sarma set March 10 as the new deadline to finalize seat-sharing agreements with key allies, citing ongoing Rajya Sabha elections as a factor in delays. Meanwhile, he expressed concerns that opposition seat-sharing tensions may prevent Congress from securing the Leader of the Opposition post, as they struggle to meet the required 24-seat threshold.
