Congress-led Mahajot fails to cash in on a set of guarantees, including scrapping Citizenship (Amendment) Act
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its regional allies retained power in Assam, staving off the challenge of a 10-party grand alliance led by the Congress and a new regional front sired by the 2019 protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). The BJP and its allies, the Asom Gana Parishad and the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), had won 46 of 68 seats declared at the time of reporting, and were leading in 27 other seats. The Congress and its two major allies — the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) and Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), an estranged partner of the BJP — had won the remaining 22 declared so far.
