Battle for 25: In the Northeast, the BJP seems to be in pole position for the Lok Sabha polls
As the Lok Sabha elections approach, political sentiments vary across the Northeast region. In Assam, there is a prevailing pro-incumbency sentiment, with the BJP government gaining popularity despite challenges in job opportunities. Conversely, in Meghalaya, voters like Lisa Wahlong remain loyal to the Congress, continuing a tradition of electing Congress MPs. However, BJP's influence has significantly grown in the Northeast since 2009, with the NDA securing a majority of seats in the region.
