Congress claims significant electoral success in Assam, says countdown for Himanta's exit has begun

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh highlighted the party's significant wins in the recent Assam parliamentary elections, underscoring their success despite what he termed a "manipulated delimitation exercise". He asserted that the countdown to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's exit has begun, pointing to the party's enhanced vote share and crucial victories despite challenges.

"Time to go Mukhya Mantri! The countdown to Himanta Biswa Sarma's exit has begun," Ramesh said.

Jairam Ramesh pointed out that the party retained three MP seats despite the challenges posed. He stressed the party's remarkable vote share of 37.48%, almost doubling its previous performance and surpassing the BJP, which secured 37.43% of the vote.

He underscored Pradyut Bordoloi's increased margin by nearly 2 lakh votes. He further mentioned that despite the Assam Chief Minister hosting 25 public meetings to defeat Gaurav Gogoi, their party candidate emerged victorious with a substantial margin of one lakh votes.
