As Assam goes to the polls on March 27, more than 10 lakh tea garden workers will form the bulk of the voter base for the first phase of polling. Top guns from the BJP and Congress are going all out to woo the massive vote bank that will decide many fates.

India Today TV travelled to Mariani town in Jorhat district dominated by these tea workers. A town with broken roads and no toilets was quiet on a Saturday afternoon due to the protest called by the All-Assam Tea Tribes Students' Association to project the 'betrayal of BJP and Congress'.
