BJP eyeing majority mark in Assam by-election

Congress battles near wipeout in eastern Assam
For the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Assembly elections in Assam have been about achieving targets — “mission 84” in 2016 and “mission 100+” in 2021 — along with its regional allies.
But its primary objective has been to attain the simple majority mark in the 126-member House, factoring in at least 35 Assembly seats where Muslim voters are dominant or are in large enough numbers to be the deciding factor.
The by-elections to five Assembly seats on October 30, and a sixth soon after, could take closer to scoring 64 seats, which would lessen its dependence on its regional allies, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL).
