Change in political landscape of Gujarat
As the political landscape in Gujarat has recently undergone significant shifts in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the state is witnessing a wave of resignations and party-switching among its leaders. The recent departure of Gujarat Congress MLA from Bijapur, CJ Chavda, has sent ripples through the political circles, and now, speculations are rife that Congress MLA from Porbandar, Arjun Modhwadia, may follow suit by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The anticipation is building as sources suggest that Modhwadia could make the move in the first week of February, adding another layer of complexity to the dynamic political landscape.
Unexpected alliances
The political scenario in Gujarat has been marked by unexpected alliances and departures in recent days. The Bharatiya Janata Party, sensing the approaching Lok Sabha elections, has sounded the election bugle by inaugurating the central offices for all Lok Sabha seats in the state. The BJP's 'Operation Lots' is in full swing, aimed at assimilating leaders from rival parties, primarily Congress and AAP, into its fold.
The political upheaval began with the resignation of CJ Chavda, a seasoned Congress MLA from Bijapur. Chavda, known for his long-standing association with the Congress, surprised many by stepping down from his position. Reports indicate that he is on the verge of joining the BJP, a move that could reshape the political dynamics in Gujarat. With the veteran leader making such a move, attention has now shifted to Arjun Modhwadia.
