"Voters have backed us": Assam BJP chief Dilip Saikia after exit polls projected CM Sarma's return

BJP Assam chief Dilip Saikia says voters backed development and leadership of PM Modi and CM Sarma after exit polls project historic mandate for third term.

"Voters have backed the BJP for development, identity, and leadership under PM Narendra Modi and CM Himanta Biswa Sarma - Dilip Saikia"

Guwahati, April 29

BJP Assam President Dilip Saikia on Wednesday stated that the voters have backed the party after exit pollsters have projected a comfortable return of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

Speaking with ANI, Saikia said that voters are giving a "historic mandate" to the BJP for a third time in Assam.

"Exit polls may not be perfect, but the BJP and NDA expect strong results in Assam. Voters have backed the BJP for development, identity, and leadership under PM Narendra Modi and CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, giving what is set to be a historic mandate for a third term," he told ANI.

BJP-led NDA is poised to retain power in Assam, according to the predictions of two exit polls released on Wednesday after the polling process ended in four states and a union territory.

Axis My India predicted that the BJP will secure 88-100 seats and Congress 24 to 36 seats. The state has 126 assembly seats and went to the polls on April 9.

JVC predicted 88-101 seats for the BJP and 23-33 seats for Congress. It gave 0-2 seats in AIUDF and three to others.

Assam had seen a high voter turnout of 85.38% per cent.

The Congress stitched a six-party alliance to take on the ruling BJP-led NDA, which sought its third successive term in office.

Speaking about West Bengal, where most of the pollsters projected the BJP's victory, Dilip Saikia said, "In Bengal, too, people have voted against Mamata Banerjee's 15 years of corruption and syndicate rule. Despite TMC's attempts to create fear, voters came out boldly, strengthening India's democratic process."

The exit poll by Chanakya Strategies has projected 150-160 Assembly seats in the BJP's corner while placing Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) with 130-140 seats of the total 294 Assembly seats in the state. Other parties are projected to win six to 10 Assembly seats in West Bengal as per Chanakya Strategies.

According to exit poll projections by Matrize, the BJP is winning the West Bengal Assembly polls with 146-161, while TMC is projected to win 125 to 140 seats. Other parties are being projected to win six to 10 Assembly seats in West Bengal.

The exit poll by Poll Diary has projected 142 to 171 Assembly seats in the BJP's corner, while placing Mamata Banerjee's party with 99 to 127 seats in West Bengal. Meanwhile, other political parties are projected to win five to nine Assembly seats.

The exit poll results were released after the conclusion of the second phase of polling in West Bengal on Wednesday. Assam, Kerala and Puducherry went to the polls on April 9 and Tamil Nadu on April 23. West Bengal went to the polls in two phases on April 23 and April 29. The results for all assembly elections will be out on May 4.

As an outsider looking in, it's fascinating how BJP has consolidated its base in Assam. The high turnout shows people are engaged. But I hope this isn't just about personality politics - real issues like jobs for youth and inflation matter too. CM Sarma needs to deliver on those promises if he gets another term.

Dilip Saikia sahab sahi keh rahe hain. Assam mein peace and development ka mudda hai. Congress ka alliance kya karega? Wo to sirf vote bank politics karte hain. Himanta ji ne illegal immigration par action liya, infrastructure banwaya. Log samajh gaye hain. 85% turnout - that's people's verdict! 👏

I'm skeptical about exit polls. Remember 2021 West Bengal? Chanakya predicted landslide for BJP but reality was different. However, in Assam, BJP has done good work - the peace after years of insurgency is visible. But I wish there was more focus on education and healthcare. The real test is on May 4, saare khel dikh jayenge.

Interesting to see the divergence between Assam and West Bengal. In Assam, it's incumbent government poised to return while Bengal might see a change. The border question between Assam and Bengal always adds another dimension. But high voter turnout across both states shows people are taking democracy seriously. Impressive numbers.
