Though the Assam government requested the Election Commission of India to conduct the Lok Sabha polls in the state before Bohag Bihu, polls will be conducted after it. This situation will make the state witness the Bihu celebration with a political flavour.
The polls in Assam are slated in three phases – 1st phase April 19, 2nd phase April 26th and Third phase May 7th. Bohag Bihu in Assam is a month-long celebration starting from April 14. During campaigning in every election, the politicos have a propensity to dance which was visible during the last Lok Sabha elections in 2019 and even the assembly elections in 2021. But this time it is Bihu during the polls, and the dance steps are expected to be more synchronised, practised and energetic.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the state on April 17, the Home minister before Bihu and many other star campaigners around Bihu.
Similarly, Congress too will bring many star campaigners during Bihu in the state.
Former chief minister of Assam Tarun Gogoi used to be seen dancing during Bohag Bihu, thereafter the former chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, was also seen participating during Bihu, the same enthusiasm is carried by the present chief minister who is trying to make Bihu an international festival.
All politicians in Assam celebrate Bihu and this time its elections so Bihu dance by politicians will be an art to behold this year.
