The Congress and AIUDF had formed a grand alliance along with the BPF and the communist parties, but the alliance performed poorly with just 16 seats out of 126.

Voter turnout was as high as 86.2 per cent with over 2. 2 crore registered voters in 2021.

Himanta Biswa Sarma is a very strong campaigner for BJP. Under his leadership, Assam has seen good infrastructure growth. Wishing Sibu Misra all the best! Hope he focuses on women's safety and local employment if elected. 🙏

The high voter turnout last time shows people's faith in democracy. It's important we vote again with the same enthusiasm. We need a stable government for continued development, not the instability that the Congress alliance showed.

Interesting to follow Indian state elections. The single-phase polling on April 9 seems efficient. The article mentions the previous grand alliance performed poorly. Does the opposition have a stronger, more unified platform this time?

With all due respect to the CM, we must look beyond promises. The last term had its share of controversies. The voter must judge the candidate Sibu Misra on his own merit and connect with Lumding, not just the party wave. Choose wisely.

Development of Lanka and surrounding areas is much needed! Better roads, schools, and healthcare facilities should be the top priority. Hope whichever candidate wins keeps their word. Jai Hind!
