Polling is on to 89 out of the total 182 constituencies for the Gujarat state Assembly while the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) portrays an exuberant posture of returning back to the reins of power for a record consecutive Seventh tenure. The only change in the situation this time is that the Aam Adami Party (AAP) is also in the fray along with the traditional rivals BJP and Indian National Congress (INC).

South Gujarat, Saurashtra: South Gujarat comprising a large tract of tribal belt continues to remain a strong BJP bastion. However, the Saurashtra region which suffered a humiliating defeat in 17 constituencies due to the Patidar agitation led by Hardik Patel is headed for a show of strength. Hardik Patel, who had created ripples within the ruling regime during the last general elections has robed with saffron attire and is contesting on a BJP ticket making a turnaround in the electoral scenario.
Hardik tipped to become a Minister: Hardik Patel, despite the massive rallies for his Patidar movement failed to convert the popular public meeting mass support into votes. The verbal attack, euphemism, and canards just became a jibe making no sense in poll-related calculations. But all his accusations have now become a thing of the past, as they keep saying, public memory is short. The hitherto BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi baiter in the worst possible manner has become a turncoat and entrusted with the task of ensuring more seats than last time in the Saurashtra region. According to party insiders, he has already been tipped of being elevated to be made a minister, if elected.
Vote for Modi and not BJP: Milan Desai, General Secretary Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee concedes-“People in Gujarat vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a revered personality for taking the state’s pride beyond the country borders rather than the party he represents. This time also there is no change on the ground.

BJP, not 120+ even once: Milan Desai heads the RK Desai Group of Institutions with seven colleges run on a charity basis imparting education to more than 2,000 students recalls-“The BJP has not won more than 120 seats even once so far while the Indian National Congress (INC) has never gone below 33 seats. In the 2017 polls, Congress won 77 seats registering a vote share of 42 percent in spite of being deprived of power”.
Modi, a master strategist: He lauds Prime Minister Narendra Modi for having transformed himself into a master strategist. Incumbent Chief Minister has been denied renomination to contest like Deputy Chief Minister Nitinbhai Patel among many a other. In fact, it’s a clever move as there has been enough anti-incumbency against the government. And it was more so against the chief minister as he failed miserably in handling the Covid-19 pandemic situation. There was a scarcity of multiple things including an adequate supply of oxygen and by shunting away key people involved in the embarrassing development, public anger has been kept at safe bay”.
