Triangular clash in Gujarat

Gujarat has seen a bipolar contest between the BJP and the Congress until now. However, with the entry of AAPs, the contest became more interesting. Though the BJP is confident of winning another consecutive term, Rahul Gandhi has also shown confidence in his state cadre.

In the 2017 Assembly polls, the ruling BJP won 51 of the 93 seats, Congress 39, while three seats went to independent candidates.

In central Gujarat, the BJP had bagged 37 seats, outnumbering the Congress which got 22. But in north Gujarat, the Congress had won 17 seats while the saffron party got 14.

Of the total 182 Assembly seats in Gujarat, polling for 89 segments was held on December 1 when an average voter turnout of 63.31 per cent was recorded.

The counting of votes in all the seats will be taken up on December 8.
