Guwahati, June 4 (IANS) The BJP and its ally partners are leading on 11 Lok Sabha seats in Assam.
The BJP is leading on nine seats while its allies Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) are leading on each seat.
Among the key candidates in Assam, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal is leading with a huge margin of 2,76,186 votes to his opposition candidate Lurinjyoti Gogoi.

In the Jorhat seat, Congress candidate Gaurav Gogoi has taken a comfortable lead of 1,40,324 votes against incumbent BJP MP Topon Kumar Gogoi.

AIUDF Chief and incumbent MP in Dhubri is heading towards a humiliating defeat in his bastion to the Congress-heavyweight Rakibul Hussain.
