THE ASSAM VERDICT

The Congress is anticipating a win in Assam, or at best a hung verdict. The feedback from the ground has been that there has been an anti-caa and NRC sentiment that went against the BJP. And the Congress had some smart alliances in place that helped it shore up the anti-bjp vote. Now the Congress has taken its MLA candidates to a resort in Rajasthan, however, there is one nagging concern. One of their allies, Badruddin Ajmal of the AIUDF has left his brother behind in Assam and this is worrying the Congress, for they know in case of a hung Assembly, the intrepid Himanta Biswa Sarma will move fast. In fact, if there is one person who can put together a government for the BJP in case of a hung Assembly it is Sarma.
