BJP Set to Sweep Assam with 88–100 Seats, Shows India-Today My Axis Exit Poll

The India Today-Axis My India exit poll has placed Assam's political battle firmly in the spotlight, projecting a decisive advantage for the BJP-led alliance in the 126-member Vidhan Sabha.

According to the exit poll, the BJP is expected to secure between 88 and 100 seats, comfortably crossing the majority mark and pointing toward a strong return to power. In contrast, the Congress is projected to win between 24 and 36 seats, indicating that the opposition may struggle to significantly dent the ruling alliance's dominance. Other parties are likely to remain on the fringes, with an estimated tally of zero to three seats.

Polling for the Assam Assembly was conducted in a single phase on April 9, making this one of the more straightforward electoral exercises in recent times. With voting completed, the exit poll now offers an early glimpse into voter sentiment across the state.

A major highlight of the survey is the popularity of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who continues to enjoy a clear edge as the preferred choice for the top post. Around 48% of respondents backed Sarma as their pick for chief minister, underscoring his strong connect with voters.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi trails with 32% support in the chief ministerial preference race. While he emerges as the principal challenger, the gap reflects the BJP's advantage in leadership perception.

While exit polls provide a snapshot of possible outcomes, they are not final. The official results, scheduled to be announced on May 4, will ultimately determine whether these projections translate into a clear mandate for the BJP or if the contest takes an unexpected turn.
