Guwahati: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Ranjeet Dass has said that the saffron party and its allies will win 103 seats in the Assam polls. The Congress, AIUDF, and a bunch of new regional parties are expected to be a thorn in its side.

Amid very favorable conditions in 2016, with the Congress government facing huge anti-incumbency and the Modi wave at its peak, the BJP could not form the government alone in 2016 and had to seek help from the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bodoland Peoples’ Front (BPF).

Addressing scribes in Guwahati, the state BJP said, “BJP’s target was to win 100 plus seats, but this time, our target is 103 seats. Of the 103 seats, nine will be grabbed from the Congress-AIUDF, and BJP already has 61 seats.”

He said that this time, the BJP will win 9 Seats previously won by the Congress-AIUDF. "These 9 Seats are Golaghat, Sarupathar, Nazira, Titabor, Mariani, Sibsagar, Dumduma, Naobaicha and Karimganj North," Dass said, adding that the party will also win several seats in the minority areas.

The BJP has set a special agenda in November and December for uprooting Congress and AIUDF from these seats, Dass added.
