BJP and UPPL are heading towards a decimation in the BTAD polls where counting is currently underway.
According to reports, the Hagrama Mohilary-led BPF is taking a huge lead in most of the seats, far ahead of the ruling UPPL, which is leading in only 5 seats.
Significantly, the high-profile campaign by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma along with BJP stars has failed to woo voters, with the party taking the lead in only 2–3 seats.
If this trend continues till 1 in the afternoon, BPF will be able to ensure a landslide victory.
