Perhaps the most poll sensitive state of the Indian union, Assam has always given jitters to the EC and Security forces of the country. 2 general elections have been cancelled in the past due to heavy violence. The state has a history of violence and struggle over several issues such as Bodoland movement, AASU and ULFA and illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The congress has been the dominant party in the state but has met resistance in the form of AGP (Asom Gana Parishad). This time the Tarun Gogoi government is facing flak over numerous security issues in the state and has to contend with the BJP-AGP alliance. It is a tough contest but the BJP-AGP alliance is marginally ahead.
Seat Projection:-
TOTAL Seats - 14
AGP - 5
BJP - 3
Cong - 6
