As counting day approaches in Assam, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi has made explosive allegations of election security lapses. He claimed that BJP workers were seen inside strong rooms in remote areas, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
Gogoi Dismisses Exit Polls
Gogoi dismissed the exit polls as a "TRP game" and alleged that the BJP "cannot win on its own." He accused the ruling party of resorting to unfair means to secure victory, suggesting that the exit polls are part of a larger conspiracy to manipulate public perception.
Exit Polls Predict BJP Sweep
However, most exit polls project a clear majority for Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and a third consecutive term for the BJP. With over 85% voter turnout recorded, the high-stakes contest has turned into a direct face-off between Gogoi and Sarma. The exit polls indicate a strong performance by the BJP, with predictions of a comfortable win.
The allegations by Gogoi have added a new layer of tension to the already heated political atmosphere in the state. The Congress leader has called for a thorough investigation into the security breaches, demanding that the Election Commission take immediate action to ensure a fair counting process.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders have dismissed Gogoi's claims as baseless and an attempt to divert attention from their expected victory. They have expressed confidence in the electoral process and accused the Congress of spreading misinformation.
As the state awaits the final results, the allegations and counter-allegations continue to dominate the political discourse. The counting of votes is scheduled to take place on May 2, and all eyes are on the outcome of this closely watched election.
