It’s is six this time against a high of 14 in 2011
The number of women MLAs in the 126-member Assam Assembly has been declining from a high of 14 in 2011.
Six women were elected to the House this time three from the BJP, two from the Congress and one from the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP).
Ajanta Neog (BJP), who won the Golaghat seat, is the most experienced among the six, having represented the constituency four times as a Congress candidate since 2001. She is the wife of former Congress leader Nagen Neog who was killed along with eight others in an ambush by the banned United Liberation Front of Asom in 1996.
