Guwahati, April 3 (IANS) By securing 101 seats in the 126-member Assam Assembly, the Congress led 'Mahajot' would form the government on May 5 and in the first session of the Vidhan Sabha, it would initiate the process of implementing its 'five guarantees' for the state, AICC General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala claimed here on Friday.

Surjewala said that after the first two phases of polling in Assam on March 27 and April 1, it has become evident that the Congress-led ‘Mahajot’ (grand alliance) would win 101 seats and the state would welcome a new Chief Minister after May 2, when the results will be declared.  “The people of Assam have gone in the right direction in the first two phases of polling and will show BJP the door this time. The people tested the so-called �double-engine’ government for five years and found that the ruling BJP has not only deprived Assam of any tangible development, but it also destroyed its socio-cultural fabric,” Surjewala told the media.  VDO.AI
