'BJP can’t win on its own': Gaurav Gogoi claims ‘theft’ bid, slams Assam exit polls

President of the Assam Congress Gaurav Gogoi has alleged lapses in election security, claiming that BJP workers were seen inside strong rooms in remote parts of the state.“We are seeing BJP workers in the strong room in remote areas of the state… What is the ECI and its security force doing?… It is clear that BJP can’t win on its own and it just wants to save itself through theft,” he said, as cited by ANI.

Speaking on exit polls, Gogoi said, “they are now just a game of TRP… and this is why they need some introspection.”He also claimed that support is moving away from the BJP, saying people have been reaching out to say they no longer want to work with Himanta Biswa Sarma, and that a shift has already taken place within the party and its allies in favour of the Congress.“People will shift from the BJP because they are already calling and saying they don’t want to work with Himanta Biswa Sarma… Shift has already happened in the BJP and its political allies; they have shifted to the Congress,” Gogoi saidExit polls released on Wednesday evening for the high-stakes Assam contest indicate a clear majority for the incumbent government led by Himanta Biswa Sarma, with most pollsters projecting a third consecutive term for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the tea-producing state.The projections place the Indian National Congress on the margins, offering little momentum to the campaign led by Gogoi.Assam went to the polls across all 126 constituencies on April 9, recording a turnout of over 85%, one of the highest in recent years.Notably, the surge in voting was seen not only in rural areas but also in urban centres, reflecting broad-based and enthusiastic voter participation across the state.The Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is seeking a third consecutive term.The Indian National Congress, meanwhile, is attempting to regain ground in the state under Gaurav Gogoi, son of former chief minister Tarun Gogoi and deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.The campaign has largely taken the shape of a direct contest between Sarma and Gogoi, with exchanges between the two leaders.
