Assam BJP Aims for Majority with Minority Support in 2026

Assam BJP chief Dilip Saikia announced the party's goal for the 2026 Assembly polls: achieving a simple majority and crossing the 100-seat mark with alliances. Preliminary work on seat sharing and a survey on MLA performance are underway, focusing on the development narrative.

Assam BJP chief Dilip Saikia has outlined the party's ambitious target for the 2026 Assembly polls: achieving a simple majority independently and surpassing the 100-seat threshold with its allies. Preparations are in progress, with seat-sharing discussions and performance evaluations of sitting MLAs already initiated.

Saikia emphasized the importance of including minority communities in the state's development plans, distancing the party from Congress's 'minority-majority' narrative. He aims to integrate all sections of society in the push for progress, positioning Assam among India's top states.

Winning 85 seats presently, the BJP is strategizing to gain 15 more to reach its 2026 goal. Preparations include comprehensive internal surveys and strengthening the party's organizational base, as well as upholding the Assam Accord's provisions for indigenous rights.
