India, May 13 -- Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) have secured a massive win in the panchayat election held this month.

The chief minister said the data from the state's 27 districts where elections were held indicated that the BJP and AGP have won most seats in the zila parishads and anchalik panchayats.

'The state election commission is yet to announce the final results. But based on official data submitted by deputy commissioners of each district, this is what we have concluded as the outcome of the panchayat polls. The official results could vary slightly," Sarma told a news conference in Guwahati.
