New BJP government in Gujarat includes six Patidars, one woman
Congress will win 135 seats in next Gujarat Assembly elections, claims Rahul Gandhi
The newly elected BJP MLAs of Gujarat are likely to meet in Gandhinagar on December 22 to elect their leader who would be the next chief minister of the key western state.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in all likelihood will want Rupani and Patel to hold on to their posts until the 2019 general election.
Hardik and his supporters, who were on their bikes, had organised a roadshow on December 11, despite being denied permission by the district authorities.
"If what (Patidar leader) Hardik Patel says is true, then the BJP will have to garland EVMs also, besides Modi, for the Gujarat victory," the Sena said.
It said that 18 (18 per cent) out of 99 BJP MLAs and 25 (32 per cent) out of 77 Congress MLAs have declared criminal cases pending against them.
AAP candidates failed to make any impact on the electorate in the western state. Election data reveal that on one seat, its candidate won only 282 votes, and 299 in another.
The data revealed on Tuesday also showed that though the Congress campaign for the election focused on Goods and Services Tax (GST) and demonetisation, people were more interested in topics related to development and Hindutva.
The BJP bagged just seven more than the magic figure of 92, while the Congress and its allies lifted 80 seats, only 12 short of a simple majority.
BJP president Amit Shah had announced during the campaign that the party was fighting elections under Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and his deputy Nitin Patel.
The Congress will analyse in detail why it failed to dislodge the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has ruled Gujarat for 22 long years, and the road ahead with 80 newly elected MLAs -- the highest number in decades.
Talking to India TV, Alpesh said that after emerging victorious in these elections, he could not blame the EVMs for the defeat of the Congress in the Assembly elections.
The young firebrand leader says he has learnt from his poll debacle, "I am just 23-year-old, I must run around, fall, get up and learn from my mistakes," Hardik Patel told India TV in an exclusive interview.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the Gujarat election results raise questions on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's credibility and the country is not listening to him.
“There was a 100 per cent match in the results of the EVM and the slips produced by the paper trail machines,” the official of the election machinery said.
In many of the seats, the Congress candidates were defeated with very narrow margins, even less then this third major vote getter, NOTA.
Unlike its rule of more than two decades, the saffron party will be facing some serious challenges, something that it has already foreseen.
Of the Congress turncoats, Tejashree Patel lost from Viramgam by about 6,500 votes to Lakhabhai Bharwad; Mansinh Chauhan lost from Balasinor; cooperative giant and chairman of Amul Ramsinh Parmar lost from his traditional Thasra seat while Raghavji P
Election Commission officials said the Bharatiya Janata Party, on course for its sixth consecutive win, had bagged 99 seats while the Congress had won 80 seats.
Rupani also thanked the people of Rajkot from where he won by over 54,000 votes.
Hardik pointed out that due to EVM tampering, the winning margin was very less in many places including Surat, Rajkot and Ahmedabad.
With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) set to retain Gujarat for the sixth consecutive term, the gap between its vote share and that of the Congress has been continuously shrinking.
BJP leaders said their party would "retain" power notwithstanding the opposition and the aggressive campaign by the Congress, particularly its new president Rahul Gandhi.
Trends from 181 seats in the state, gave the BJP a lead in over a 100 seats while the Congress was following with 69. The simple majority mark in the 182-member assembly is 92.
While PM Modi’s whirlwind tour of the state in the last leg is believed to have been the key factor behind the BJP’s winning run, there are ample reasons for Congress to introspect.
Party supporters gathered in large numbers at the office and distributed sweets among themselves.
While Kamal Nath pointed out that Gujarat is a BJP bastion and Shashi Tharoor appreciated the fact that the "journey" had been good,
While senior Union ministers, including Rajnath Singh and Prakash Javadekar, said the polls trends reflect Modi's leadership, party leaders like Sakshi Maharaj attributed the outcome to the Prime Minister's "magic".
While BJP moves ahead to take its rule in Gujarat past 22 years, let’s take a look at some of the factors which seem to have helped the BJP manage to hold faith of Gujarat’s people:
