Campaigning is heating up in Gujarat ahead of announcement of dates for the assembly election, with prominent political leaders like Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Rahul Gandhi visiting the state.
The election is crucial for the ruling BJP, which aims to retain power in the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while the Congress hopes for a win after remaining out of power for 27 years in the key state.
For new entrant Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the election, scheduled to be held in two months, will be an opportunity to emerge as a pan-nation party.
The state will see a three-cornered contest between BJP, Congress, and AAP.
Gujarat has seen frequent visits of top national leaders ahead of the election, and parties are firming up their strategies. The roads of cities and villages of Gujarat are filled up with advertisement banners of political parties.
"Political parties have started high decibel campaigns for the election, the dates may be announced any time this month," political observer Hari Desai said.
