Ahmedabad: The BJP in Gujarat has this year registered its best ever showing in Lok Sabha polls, winning all 26 seats on the back of a massive 12.6 per cent swing in its favour over the last elections.


Accomplishing their ‘Mission-26' of winning all the seats in Chief Minister Narendra Modi's state, BJP secured 59.1 per cent of the votes as against 32.9 per cent by Congress, which drew a blank in these polls.
