Guwahati, Mar 28: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday expressed optimism about the prospects of the BJP-led NDA in the upcoming Assembly elections, attributing strong voter engagement to women and Gen Z voters.

Speaking to ANI, Sarma said, “You will find women at public meetings and youth at rallies. There is tremendous enthusiasm among them. This election is being fought by Gen Z and women, and we are going to see a great result.”

Referring to his recent campaign visits to Dhakuakhana and Lakhimpur previously closely contested constituencies Sarma described them as “A+ seats” due to government initiatives and policies implemented under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added, “People are set to vote one-sidedly for the BJP-AGP-BPF alliance.”

Commenting on the opposition, including Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, Sarma stated, “Speaking about them now only gives free publicity. That time has passed.”

The NDA is emphasizing governance, welfare schemes, and outreach to youth and women ahead of the polls. Sarma also announced that a vision document for the party will be released soon, projecting a “thumping majority” without specifying fixed targets, noting, “In politics, there are no fixed targets like in cricket. Ultimately, people will decide.”

Polling for all 126 Assembly seats is scheduled for April 9, with results to be declared on May 4. Sarma will contest from his Jalukbari constituency.
