BJP will win 73-81 Seats in Assam Polls & form Govt, says ABP Survey

GUWAHATI: Although the Sarbananda Sonowal-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will fall short of capturing 100 Constituencies in Assam, the saffron party is set to ascend to power once again in Assam, if a recently conducted ABP survey is to be believed.
