Three major political parties exist in Assam- namely Bharatiya Janatha Party (BJP), Indian National Congress (INC), Assam India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), and Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). AGP and BJP were allies but ended their alliance a few months ago due to differences over Citizenship Amendment Bill. The two parties recently returned to form an alliance to contend in the Lok Sabha Elections against Congress.

BJP currently holds 7 Lok Sabha seats out of 14 whereas Congress and AIUDF each hold 3. The Citizenship Amendment Bill is going to play a key role in the Assam General Elections. The opinion polls that have been carried out by various media organizations have put UPA ahead of NDA in the upcoming elections.
