Gujarat polls: 70 per cent polling recorded in 2nd phase

Confident of returning to power, Modi, who was mobbed by his supporters, said, “I thank all the voters. In this election, people of Gujarat will make a hat-trick by giving a third term to us.”
Veteran BJP leader L K Advani and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitely were among theprominent voters.

The high voting till afternoon and huge turnout has once again sparked off a debate on vote swing, which political pundits predict could be anti-incumbency or swing in favour of a particular party.

Long queues were seen since morning across 23,318 polling stations, with men, women and youths coming out in large numbers.
