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".

"This time, development is the only issue. Enormous works have been done to improve the overall infrastructure of the region," he added.
