So far 25% of polling has been done in Assam assembly elections. The polling started from 7am and it happened with tight security. The first three hours of polling witnessed huge crowd and particularly women showed more interest in polling booths. Voters stood in queues for more than 2 hours.


We hear from reports that most of them came to polling by 7am itself. Ruling Congress Party, BJP-AGP-BPF alliance and the AIUDF lock horns in this polls. Congress is keen to grab the throne once again. However there were few complaints as there was malfunctioning of electronic voting machines (EVMs).


But this was just a hiccup and later the election process continued without any interruption. Former two-time chief minister and Asom Gana Parishad leader Prafulla Kumar Mahanta along with his wife former MP Dr.Jayashree Mahanta casted their vote at Barhampur.


Today's Polling will seal the fate of 525 contestants in 61 of the 126 Assam Assembly constituencies. It has to be recalled that the first phase of polling in Assam took place on April 4th and the first phase witnessed 82.2% polling.
