Assam EVM row: Presiding officer suspended; re-poll ordered by EC Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Sunday said that he is confident of Bharatiya Janata Party-led government retaining the power in the state for the second consecutive term. While talking to the media, Sonowal, who is seeking re-election from the world's largest river island Majuli in eastern Assam, said that the trends of the counting of votes across the state clearly suggested that the BJP is coming back to power for the second term. The 59-years-old saffron party leader said that the BJP in alliance with the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United People's Party Liberal (UPPL) would form the government.
