Assam will go to polls in the first phase of assembly elections on Saturday that will decide the fate of a number of top politicians including Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal.

The first phase of poll in Assam will decide the fate of Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, Speaker Hitendranath Goswami, state Congress chief Ripun Borah and a host of ministers.
