BJP in driver’s seat in Gujarat

BJP in driver’s seat in Gujarat

While the second phase of the Gujarat Assembly polls is scheduled for December 5, and results to be declared on December 8, this time for sure there will not be any need of exit polls, as the BJP is well-poised for a landslide victory.

The only point of interest is how much of the vote share will the Congress manage to secure, given the division in the number of opposition votes. The Aam Aadmi party (AAP) on the other hand, is hardly expected to touch double digit number of seats, despite its promises of jobs for the jobless and free electricity and education  for the the poor.

A similar situation arose in the 2022 Goa Assembly polls where the BJP pulled off an impressive win, leaving the Congress shell-shocked and the AAP, a decimated lot. The reading therefore is very clear for all to see, as the BJP stands invincible in Gujarat and comfortably ensconced for another two decades or more.
