On Thursday, as the vote count kicks off in Gujarat, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has held the reins of power since 1995, is eyeing to seize the seventh consecutive win in the recently held assembly polls. Gujarat is a key state for the BJP for several reasons, one being that PM Narendra Modi, son of the soil, consolidated himself from the turf and rose to power in 2014. Being the bastion of the BJP, the state comprises 26 Lok Sabha seats, all of which were clinched by the party in the 2019 general elections. However, this time the assembly elections are interesting as the turf will witness an interesting electoral churn as the traditional bipolar contest between Congress and the BJP has come to an end with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) thoroughly going into the fray in all the 182 constituencies.
