Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on March 7 asserted that the ruling BJP-led alliance will win 22 of the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in the Northeast in the upcoming elections.
Addressing a press conference in Guwahati, Mr. Sarma said only three of the 14 seats in Assam are "uncertain at the moment".
