In Gujarat, the BJP has completed an excellent job in three a long time. Significant work has been completed in Gujarat in each area, together with infrastructure, electrical energy, water, growth of vacationer locations. The main contribution to that is that of Narendra Modi. The folks of Gujarat have reposed religion in Modi, within the BJP and it’s nonetheless intact. This is likely one of the main the reason why the BJP wins elections from panchayat to meeting right here with an enormous majority.
The 2017 meeting elections had been actually troublesome for the Bharatiya Janata Party. The Patidar agitation was occurring in full swing. Other communities had been additionally united, the celebration was combating for the primary time with out Narendra Modi because the CM face. People had been searching for an alternative choice to Narendra Modi. The Congress was rather more energetic than it’s now. However, the BJP one way or the other saved the federal government with 99 seats.
There was no such drawback in opposition to the BJP on this election. Various communities had been additionally hooked up to the BJP throughout these 5 years. Also, no new actions or agitations did come up within the state. The state of affairs modified to such an extent that Hardik Patel and Alpesh Thakor, who had as soon as been in opposition to the BJP authorities, contested this election on a BJP ticket.
Apart from this, final 12 months, the celebration modified your complete cabinet, together with the chief minister, and its direct impact was seen just lately. Due to Corona, folks had some dissatisfaction with the Vijay Rupani authorities. However, this was the state of affairs in all of the states then and maybe the BJP would have retained energy even when it had fought with the identical authorities, however the celebration’s intention was not simply to retain energy. And outcomes made it clear that the celebration has fulfilled what it really aimed for.
The Bhupendra Patel authorities labored quietly for a 12 months. The impact of this was seen within the outcomes of this election. Bharatiya Janata Party bagged the highest spot proper from the primary spherical of vote counting. At one time limit, BJP was main on greater than 160 out of 182 seats. From the start itself, it was clear that BJP will type a authorities with a transparent majority.

The adjustments in Congress
After a significant setback on the Centre in 2014, the graph of the Congress has been steadily happening. However, in 2017, the celebration gained 77 seats in Gujarat. But then the identical state of affairs occurred right here, which occurred within the nation after 2014. The cause is that the celebration doesn’t have management. And if there is no such thing as a management, then the group additionally collapses and if there is no such thing as a group, then even a good determine can’t be obtained, not to mention forming a authorities. These outcomes underlined this.
The Congress leaders who had been working exhausting in Gujarat in 2017 additionally didn’t present a lot curiosity. The celebration’s excessive command additionally appeared to have simply accomplished the formalities. Rahul Gandhi did solely three rallies. Priyanka Gandhi didn’t come though she was invited. Till the top, the celebration didn’t even begin campaigning. At final, PM Modi needed to say from the general public platform that the Congress remains to be alive!
However, the celebration works exhausting when it will get a response from the folks as effectively. Seeing the consistently declining graph of the celebration right here, folks didn’t even come out to assist them. The seats the place the Congress has gained are the seats the place the candidates had been sturdy they usually have gained with their very own recognition and skill and never on account of the celebration image.
The decline of seats and votes for Congress was seen from the morning classes on the counting day. Congress seemed nowhere within the race as BJP swept nearly all of seats in all 5 sections of the state. The Congress and NCP alliance combating in opposition to the BJP couldn’t even cross the 50 mark within the developments anytime through the counting. Finally, it needed to decide on 17 seats. For a celebration to say the seat of the chief of the opposition in the home, it ought to a minimum of have 19 elected members within the meeting. For the primary time within the historical past of Gujarat, no celebration within the opposition certified to say it.
Aam Aadmi Party ended earlier than it may get an excellent begin within the state
The Aam Aadmi Party began campaigning this time six months in the past. It began creating an environment a 12 months in the past. But the celebration couldn’t do a lot. In the top, it needed to be content material with breaking the Congress vote. The celebration didn’t carry out effectively even in Surat the place the celebration emerged.
The Aam Aadmi Party used social media extensively on this election, however social media doesn’t win elections. To win elections, a celebration wants the group and employees who work on the bottom. The AAP had employees, however those that would go to a Facebook put up and write ‘Only AAP’. The lack of employees searching for votes made the celebration undergo on this election.
Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party additionally made guarantees of freebies, however additionally they didn’t catch the inclination of the folks. On the opposite hand, throughout this era, the scams of the Delhi authorities that got here out additionally pressured the folks to vote in opposition to AAP. The relaxation was completed by celebration president Gopal Italia.
The Aam Aadmi Party additionally lacked management. Gopal Italia and Isudan Gadhvi, each leaders, couldn’t even save their very own seats. And if there is no such thing as a succesful management, then the group doesn’t survive, and even when it survives, then folks don’t work. And no political celebration in the entire world can stand compared with the BJP when it comes to group.
AAP made hype on social media because it contested 181 out of 182 seats as if it was going to make a authorities by itself. In the top, AAP was restricted to single-digit figures and will win on 5 seats solely. It didn’t contact a double-digit determine anytime throughout any spherical of counting
AIMIM did not lure the ‘Muslim voter’
Asaduddin Owaisi’s celebration AIMIM’s efficiency was even worse. They contested 14 seats, all of which had been Muslim majority seats. The outcomes aren’t any totally different than anticipated. The celebration misplaced in every single place. The Congress’ votes had been lower by AIMIM in lots of seats out of the 14, as has been the case in all elections.
In quick, this election was a possibility for the BJP to interrupt information, for the Congress to outlive and for the Aam Aadmi Party to make inroads; through which the BJP has fulfilled its goal on account of Modi’s recognition, three a long time of labor and robust group. The Congress couldn’t carry out as anticipated and the Aam Aadmi Party and AIMIM miserably failed.
