Sarbananda Sonowal, the BJP's chief ministerial candidate for Assam, on Tuesday said his party will not take support of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in forming the government.
Sonowal exuded confidence that the BJP will show good results in the state. Citing the example of exit polls which have predicted a big win for the BJP, Sonowal claimed that people in Assam have given votes for change.
On the other hand, the Congress has said that result of exit polls was not based on facts.
Congress spokesperson Apurba Bhattacharya claimed that Congress will show good result in Assam.
With the elections across five states finally coming to an end, most of the exit polls gave an edge to BJP in Assam and predicted an outright win for Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal.
According to the poll survey by ABP news, BJP is expected to bag 81 seats while Congress is likely to get 33 seats. Assam's regional party AIUDF is expected to bag 10 seats.
