Gujarat 2014

It's A Clean Sweep For BJP In Saffron Belt

With the ‘Gujarati-for-PM’ being the slogan of the BJP’s Lok Sabha campaign in Gujarat, Narendra Modi’s home state given a resounding 100% mandate in his favour. The message was unambiguous: Modi should now replicate the success of the ‘Gujarat model’ on the wider canvas of India.

The BJP swept all 26 seats, demolishing some of the last-standing Congres bastions such as Anand, Bardoli and Kheda, which were represented by Union ministers Bharatsinh Solanki, Tushar Chaudhary and Dinsha Patel respectively. Shankersinh Vaghela, leader of opposition in the Gujarat assembly, was another major loser (from Sabarkantha).

The Congres had won 11 seats from the state in 2009.

The BJP bettered its previous best of 20 seats in 1999 to achieve an unprecedented clean sweep. Modi seemed to have Gujarat completely un

der his spell. The BJP garnered a record vote share of 59.1% (up from 46.38% in 2009), while the Congres's share went down to 32.9% (from 43.38% in 2009). The total polling stood at 63% (up from 47.90% in 2009).

No other political party could make a dent in the saffron stronghold. AAP polled only 1.2% votes — less than the number of people who opted for NOTA (1.8%) here.
