BJP wrests Assam’s Nagaon Lok Sabha seat after seven years
The Bharatiya Janata Party captured the Nagaon parliamentary constituency in Assam, ending a seven‑year gap since its last victory there. According to state chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the win reflects the party’s progress in areas where Muslims, who form about 62 % of the electorate, traditionally dominate. The result significantly reshapes the region’s overall political balance.
