Guwahati: Voting begins for 2nd phase of Assam assembly polls. Guwahati: April 5: Assam is geared up to hold the third and final phase of assembly elections on 40 of the total of 126 assembly seats on Tuesday when the electoral fate of 337 candidates including 25 women aspirants would be decided. Tuesday’s electoral battle is crucial for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition Congress as both the parties had won 11 seats each in 2016 assembly polls. BJP’s ally Asom Gana Parishad last time bagged four seats while Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) and All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) had secured eight and six seats respectively. Both the BPF and the AIUDF this time are allies of the Congress-led ‘Mahajot’ (grand alliance). In the last elections the BPF was with the BJP and the AIUDF fought the polls independently.
