In a bold prediction, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma anticipates a significant setback for the Congress, foreseeing a potential loss of its national party status in the aftermath of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
BJP-led NDA Expected to Dominate
Expressing confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), CM Sarma anticipates a sweeping victory, projecting the coalition to secure over 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Chief Minister Sarma further predicts that the Congress, in the aftermath of the elections, is likely to fragment into various regional entities. This fragmentation, he suggests, will mark a substantial decline in the party’s national influence.
Emphasizing the demoralization of Congress workers as an inevitable consequence, CM Sarma points out that the party is poised to face challenges not only in terms of electoral outcomes but also in maintaining cohesive national leadership.
The chief minister’s remarks came in the context of discussions about the seat-sharing arrangement in Assam. As part of this arrangement, the BJP is set to contest in 11 seats, while the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) will contest in two and one seat(s) respectively.
CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s bold predictions highlight the political landscape’s potential transformation, with the Congress facing a formidable challenge to its national standing. The anticipation of a dominant performance by the BJP-led NDA sets the stage for a closely watched and impactful electoral scenario in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
