Meanwhile, in Assam, the Indian National Congress will unveil its manifesto, led by Mallikarjun Kharge, who will also address a rally in Lakhimpur. Amit Shah is campaigning in Assam, addressing rallies and expressing confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party will secure over 90 seats for a third consecutive term. J. P. Nadda is also visiting the state for campaign events. In West Bengal, Congress plans to contest all 294 seats independently.
