Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma has claimed that although Nagaon is not a traditional BJP stronghold, the political atmosphere in the constituency has changed in favour of the party over the past month.Addressing a press conference at the Cinamora Sammilan Kendra in Jorhat on Tuesday, Sarma said if the BJP manages to win the Nagaon constituency, it could be an indication that the party is capable of winning all 126 assembly seats in the 2031 election."The present Nagaon constituency comprises Morigaon, Jagiroad, Raha and Nagaon. If we consider the panchayat-level results of the last assembly election, we won all these constituencies.
