Assam Panchayat polls: CM Sarma says NDA has won 325 seats unopposed

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma announces NDA's massive unopposed victory in Panchayat polls, highlighting BJP's electoral dominance

"We are confident that when the final election results are declared, this tally will grow even more impressive. - Himanta Biswa Sarma"

Guwahati, April 18

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated on Friday that the BJP-led NDA in the state has secured as many as 325 seats unopposed in the upcoming Panchayat elections.

Sarma mentioned, "Yesterday marked the last date for withdrawal of nominations for the upcoming Panchayat elections. As per reports received so far, the NDA has already secured 37 Zila Parishad (35 BJP and two AGP) and 288 Anchalik Panchayat (259 BJP and 29 AGP) seats unopposed."

According to CM, this is a massive and unprecedented mandate in Assam's political history. It reflects the immense trust and overwhelming love that the people of Assam have for the NDA and for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He further said, "We are confident that when the final election results are declared, this tally will grow even more impressive. The NDA is all set to sweep the Panchayat elections in Assam. My heartfelt gratitude to the people of Assam and deep appreciation to our dedicated karyakartas for their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment."

Meanwhile, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi alleged that the "goons" of the BJP have been unleashing atrocities against the opposition candidates in the run-up to the upcoming Panchayat polls.

Gogoi said, "The state administration is biased towards the BJP and they have not taken any action against the goons of the ruling party. State Congress president Bhupen Borah and MP Pradyut Bordoloi have raised this issue with the police; however, no action was taken against the BJP goons."

He also stated that Congress workers will not be intimidated and they will take on the BJP in the polls. "We have a long history of contesting against the ruling dispensation, and our party workers are adamant not to let down their guard in front of the intimidation and fearmongering tactics of the BJP," Gogoi added.

The Panchayat elections in Assam will be held in two phases on May 2 and 7.

While the numbers are impressive, I hope this doesn't mean less democratic participation. Healthy competition is important even if one party is dominant. The Congress allegations should be properly investigated.

As someone from Assam, I've seen real changes in my village - better roads, electricity, and water supply. No wonder people are supporting BJP without contest! #DevelopmentForAll

The Congress complaints sound like sour grapes to me. If they had real grassroots support, their candidates wouldn't be withdrawing. People want progress, not old-style politics.

Interesting to see such overwhelming support! Hope the elected representatives will work equally for all communities in Assam, not just their voters. The real test begins after elections.
