While Congress has emerged winner in most of the Zilla Parishads, the AIUDF has won Dhubri and Barpeta districts, while in Morigaon the verdict went for a hung Zilla Parishad with Congress and AIUDF going neck-by-neck. In Goalpara also, Congress and AIUDF are running neck- and-neck so far. Buoyed by the victory of the Congress in the panchayat polls, Gogoi said, "Separate schemes will be taken up for the welfare of landless and marginalised farmers after identifying the beneficiaries." Commenting on the results so far, AIUDF President and Lok Sabha MP Badruddin Ajmal accused the government of "resorting to unfair means." "If it had not been for the AIUDF, the opposition would have been decimated. If Assam turns into a one-party state, it would not be good for the future of democracy," he said.
