The high-voltage campaign in West Bengal may have overshadowed electioneering in Assam, but the third and final phase of polling in the neighbouring State is witnessing an equally charged contest, with the Congress-led Opposition alliance challenging the ruling NDA’s aggressive welfarism by strong arithmetic and organisational strength.
The Congress has boosted its combined vote share of about 45 per cent with AUDF, Bodo People’s Front, Left parties and RJD. Its aggressive booth-level management is supervised by a team of about 700 people selected by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, Bhupesh Bhagel. Bhagel crafted the Congress’s impressive win in Chhattisgarh and has been helping out with the party’s campaign in Assam for the last over three months.

Guwahati, April 6 : Tuesday s third and final phase of polling in 40 of the 126-member Assam Assembly is a litmus test for both the ruling BJP-led alliance and the opposition Congress-led Mahajot (grand alliance).
Of the 40 Assembly segments, bordering Bhutan, West Bengal and Arunachal Pradesh, at least 13 seats are Muslim majority, six reserved for the tribals and two reserved for the people belonging to the scheduled caste.
Tuesday s electoral battle in 12 districts, according to the political experts, would be decisive for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the main opposition Congress as both the parties had won 11 seats each in the 2016 Assembly polls.
