<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hemant Biswa Sarma, the BJP&#8217;s leader in Assam and the most powerful minister in the government, has received a major relief from the Election Commission.  The Election Commission on Saturday reduced the 48-hour ban imposed on Sarma&#8217;s campaigning to 24 hours.  The Election Commission&#8217;s panel has taken this decision after Hemant Biswa Sarma&#8217;s assurance of fully complying with the provisions of the Model Code.<br> In the case of objectionable comments against BPF President Hagrama Mohilary on Hemant Biswa Sarma, the Election Commission had imposed a 48-hour ban on his election campaign on Friday.  The Election Commission said in its order that &#8220;the Commission strongly condemns the statements of Himanta Biswa Sarma.&#8221;  The Commission prohibits any of their public meetings, holding public processions, holding rallies, roadshows, giving interviews and making public statements in the media for 48 hours with immediate effect on April 2 (Friday).<br> What did Sarma say? Sarma had said that if Mohilari promotes insurgency with rebel leader M Batha, he will be sent to jail through the Central Investigation Agency NIA.  The Bodoland People&#8217;s Front is an ally of the Congress in Assam.  Earlier this party was with BJP.  Following this statement of Sarma, the opposition parties became aggressive and demanded the Election Commission to take action against Sarma.<br> Third and last phase voting 6 April Assam has two-phase polling, while the third and last phase of polling will be held on April 6 for 40 seats.  In the first phase elections, on March 27, about 79.97 percent of the voters exercised their franchise in 47 seats, while in the second phase on Thursday, 39 seats were voted.  The results will come on 2 May.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Raising the pitch of high-voltage campaigning for Assembly elections in Assam, Union home minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah will on Wednesday address three public rallies in the state, where the second phase of campaigning freshly concluded a day earlier.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shah will address the rallies in Bijni, Hajo and Dispur</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ruling BJP &#8211; seeking to return to power &#8211; has rushed a battery of leaders from across the country to campaign intensely in Assam and other poll-bound states. Apart from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior BJP leaders including Union ministers Smriti Irani, Jitendra Singh, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan are among those who have campaigned in Assam. Senior state BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma also extensively campaigned in the state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The key players including the ruling NDA, Congress-led Mahajath have made hard efforts to woo voters on 39 seats that will go to the polls on April 1.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second phase of elections will decide the fate of 345 candidates in 39 seats across 13 districts (of the total 126), where over 7.3 million voters will exercise their franchise. In the first phase, polling took place in 47 seats in 12 districts on March 27. In the third and final phase, 40 seats will go to polls on April 6.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prominent candidates in the second phase include Parimal Suklabaidya (Dholai), Pijush Hazarika (Jagiroad), Bhabesh Kalita (Rangia), all ministers in the state’s Bharatiya Janata Party-led government, and the assembly deputy speaker Aminul Haque Laskar (Sonai).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main contest is seen to be between the alliances led by BJP and Congress.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The BJP-led led alliance also includes the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United People&#8217;s Party Liberal (UPPL).</p>
