BJP Wins Gujarat Assembly Election 2022

In Gujarat, one of the BJP’s strongholds where it had lost some of its lusters in 2017, the party is on track to secure a record victory, while the Congress has scored its lowest-ever vote total there. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aggressive campaigning and a carefully thought-out organizational strategy, the party, which had a maximum of 99 seats five years ago, is on track to surpass its current high seat total of 127 and surpass the Congress’s record of 149 seats in the 1985 Assembly elections, which were influenced by a sympathy wave brought on by Indira Gandhi’s assassination.

On December 12, Bhupendra Patel will be sworn in to serve a second term as Gujarat’s chief minister, the party said on December 8. According to state BJP president C R Paatil, the swearing-in event will take place on December 12 at 2 p.m. in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. At the BJP office in Gandhinagar, where party supporters could be seen celebrating the party’s victory, he was giving a press conference while Bhupendra Patel was in attendance.

The AAP, which triumphed in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi elections on December 7 is the story aside from the BJP’s surge. In its first election there, the party was in the lead in 5 seats. If the trends are confirmed by the results, the AAP would score a major victory because Gujarat offers a fertile ground for growth as a viable alternative to the Congress, which has lost the support of the electorate. The leads coming out of Gujarat also imply that the AAP is benefiting from the Congress’s missteps and splintering its base of support, even though it is still unable to completely win over minorities and tribals. These two groups continue to be anomalies in the general BJP support wave.
