Guwahati, Aug 20 (SocialNews.XYZ) Winning at least 20 out of the 25 Lok Sabha seats in the northeast is an uphill task, yet the BJP is hopeful of achieving its target of Mission 20 plus for 2024 in this region.
However, achieving this target depends largely on the saffron party’s poll performance in Assam, which accounts for 14 LS seats.
In the 2019 general elections, the BJP won nine out of the 14 seats in Assam. They lost in Dhubri to AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal, and the Congress won three seats -- Nagaon, Kaliabor, and Barpeta.
The Kokrajhar LS seat was won by the BJP’s ally, the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL).
This time, the BJP is desperate to increase its tally in the state. Apart from retaining all seats it won in the previous Lok Sabha election, the party is also eying three seats currently held by Congress MPs.
Pradyut Bordoloi’s Nagaon seat is the BJP’s first target. The saffron party won this seat more than once, even before becoming a strong force in 2014. Rajen Gohain served consecutively four times in the Lok Sabha
