Bodoland Territorial Council Chief Executive Member Hagrama Mohilary on Thursday expressed strong confidence that Himanta Biswa Sarma will return as Chief Minister, claiming that the NDA alliance is heading towards a clear majority in the Assam Assembly elections.
Mohilary made the statement during his visit to Bijni, where he held a meeting with leaders of the Bodoland People’s Front at the party’s district office. After the meeting, he told reporters that polling across the state was conducted in a peaceful manner without any major problems.
He said the election process was smooth and well-managed, pointing to proper arrangements made by the administration. According to him, early trends and feedback from different areas suggest that the NDA alliance is leading in many constituencies and is likely to cross the 80-seat mark in the 126-member Assam Assembly.
Speaking about the Bijni constituency, Mohilary said the result there was almost certain and did not need much discussion. He also claimed that the alliance is set to perform strongly in the Bodoland Territorial Region, adding that all 15 seats in the BTC area could go in favour of the NDA. He described it as a possible “clean sweep” in the region.
Mohilary further said that if the NDA returns to power, the government will continue its development work in Assam. He added that the next term will focus on taking forward major development projects and improving infrastructure in different parts of the state.
