THE BJP had everyone convinced, almost, that the saffron storm was about to descend on PM Narendra Modi's home state. Those covering the elections had an idea, not strong enough for this big, unprecedented victory, where anyone who stood in the way of the saffron swag was left swallowing one's pride.
With 156 seats in the 182-member Assembly, it is a landslide of 2022 as the BJP registered its seventh consecutive win. It is the party's largest victory in Gujarat since the state's formation in 1960.
Traditionally, there has always been a strong contest between the BJP and Congress in Gujarat, but this time around, AAP's entry made these elections interesting.
The Congress could win 17 seats, AAP 4 and Independents 4. The Samajwadi Party made its debut in Gujarat by winning one seat in Porbandar's Kutiyana seat.
