Interesting to see the candidate list. But honestly, as a young voter from Guwahati, I'm tired of the same old political musical chairs. We need concrete plans for jobs, controlling floods, and better infrastructure. Who is actually talking about that? 🤔

BJP's development work in Assam is visible. Roads, bridges, and efforts to preserve our culture. The high voter turnout shows people are engaged. I think the NDA will get a third term based on their work. Jai Axom!

The 2021 results were clear - the grand alliance was a flop. Congress and AIUDF need to seriously rethink their strategy if they want to be relevant. Fielding candidates is one thing, winning the trust of the people is another.

Good to see a diverse list with candidates from different communities, like Musukha Basumatary from Bijni. Assam's beauty is in its diversity. Hope all parties focus on issues that unite us - education, healthcare, and women's safety.

Following Assam politics from outside. The high voter turnout (over 86%!) is incredibly impressive and a lesson in civic duty. Democracy in action. Wishing for a peaceful and fair election.
