During a rally in Nazira, Sivasagar district, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the state's assembly seats could increase from 126 to 189, resulting in a net gain of 63 seats due to the implementation of women's reservation. He stated that this expansion would allow for the revival of the previously abolished Amguri Assembly constituency. Sarma assured the audience that no government offices would be relocated from Amguri until the constituency is revived, and hinted at the establishment of additional offices there. As he campaigned for BJP candidate Mayur Borgohain against sitting Congress MLA Debabrata Saikia, Sarma emphasized the advantages of a 'double-engine government' for accelerating development in Assam. The Nazira contest is viewed as a crucial face-off, with political analysts noting an anti-incumbency sentiment against Saikia, suggesting that voters may prioritize development in their decision.
