PM Narendra Modi

At 4 pm, BJP was headed for a clear victory – comfortably in Himachal Pradesh and with a reduced margin in a close contest in Gujarat.

In Gujarat, the BJP had won 56 and was leading in 43, a total of 99 in which it was ahead of the Congress.

The Congress had won 49 and was ahead in 28, a total of 77 seats.

Nationalist Congress Party and Independent had bagged 1 each and Bhartiya Tribal Party had won 2 seats.

  • Notably, the leaders of Patidar, Dalit and OBC movements – all of which were against the BJP government and joined hands with Congress – won in their respective constituencies: Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani won Vadgam, OBC leader Alpesh Thakore bagged Radhanpur while Patidar leader Hardik Patel’s candidate Lalit Vasoya was headed for a win from Dhoraji.
  • Although the BJP is set to retain hold of Gujarat, the victory margin of a majority of BJP heavyweights has shrunk while the Congress party’s vote share has shown a significant increase. The saffron party’s decision to drop some incumbent legislators and replace them with fresh faces has helped the BJP retain old strongholds, but again with reduced margins.
  • Babubhai Bokhiriya, the BJP’s sitting MLA who sought re-election from the Porbandar seat against Congress veteran Arjun Modhvadia, was victorious. However, Bokhiriya’s victory margin was only1855 votes against 17146 votes of 2012.
  • Gujarat deputy chief minister Nitin Patel, who was trailing behind his Congress rival Jiva Patel for a long time, finally appears to be winning from his traditional Mahesana seat. However, while Nitin Patel – a close aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a key Patidar leader in the state – won the Mahesana seat by 24205 votes in 2012, his victory margin came down to just over 12000 votes in the current election.
  • The BJP’s Mahuva MLA Raghav Makwana who had won the Mahuva seat in 2012 by a margin of 28352 votes, retained the seat with a victory margin of just 5009 votes.
  • Though the BJP comprehensively won Maninagar, the seat which elected Narendra Modi in 2012, the party’s candidate Suresh Patel registered a victory margin of 75199 votes, which was lower than the margin of 86373 votes that Modi had won the seat with five years ago.
  • In the Ghatlodia constituency, the BJP had fielded Bhupendra Rajnikant Patel after sitting MLA and former chief minister Anandiben Patel refused to contest the polls. Anandiben Patel had won this seat in Ahmedabad district by a massive margin of 110395 votes in 2012. However, Bhupendra Patel’s margin in the current election was around 95000 votes.
  • In the Surat (East) constituency, which had seen massive protests by local traders against the GST, the BJP had replaced its sitting MLA Ranjit Gilitwala with Arvind Rana. While Gilitwala had won the seat for the BJP with a margin of 15789 votes in 2012, Rana retained the seat for the party with a marginal victory margin of just over 700 votes.
  • The BJP’s vote share is pegged to be within 50 per cent while the Congress’ share is projected to cross 41 per cent, an almost 15 per cent jump from the 2012 assembly polls.

Amit Shah accuses Congress of preserving Article 370 for 70 years

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday attacked Congress on Sunday for preserving Article 370 of the Constitution, due to which terrorism increased in the country. He further added that BJP will never let another division of the country happen. Shah was addressing a Lok Sabha election rally in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh where he said the Congress and the Samajwadi Party preserved Article 370 for 70 years, due to which terrorism in the country increased.

Addressing the people Shah said they had made Modiji the prime minister for the 2nd time and he abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019.  He compared the situation to earlier times in the valley, when the Army had to be taken along for hoisting the tricolour, at that same Lal Chowk (Jammu and Kashmir) to the situation now when the shobhayatra of Lord Krishna is being taken out. The rally was organised to garner support for B P Saroj, the BJP candidate from the Machhlishahr Lok Sabha constituency in Jaunpur.

Shah further added that the divisive policies of the Congress want to divide the country again but BJP will never let that happen again. The Union Home Minister accused the grand old party of spreading lies that if PM Modi comes to power for a 3rd time at the centre then he will abolish reservation.

Shah Pointed out that the prime minister has been in majority for the last 10 years and he did not use it to abolish reservation. Shah said, he wanted to ask (SP chief) Akhilesh Yadav and (Congress leader) Rahul Gandhi that when their government was in power for 10 years, what did Uttar Pradesh get in that period? The UPA government gave Rs 4.9 lakh crore to Uttar Pradesh in 10 years as compared to the NDA government which gave Rs 19.11 lakh crore.

Arvind Kejriwal says BJP started Operation Jhaadu to crush AAP

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday alleged BJP has started Operation Jhaadu to crush the Aam Aadmi Party since its popularity among the people is rising too fast. Kejriwal was addressing Aam Aadmi Party workers at the party office in New Delhi where he claimed the AAP’s bank accounts would be frozen after elections and they will be brought on the roads and left without an office.

The Delhi chief minister alleged BJP has started Operation Jhaadu so that they do not grow big and become a challenge to them.  He further added that through Operation Jhaadu, AAP’s big leaders will be arrested; they are being arrested, and in the coming days, Aam Aadmi Party’s bank accounts will be frozen.

Kejriwal pointed out that ED’s lawyer has already given this statement in court that soon after the election, AAP’s bank accounts will be frozen. He said that if they freeze their accounts now, then AAP will get sympathy. As a result after the election, ED will freeze AAP’s bank accounts. He said AAP’s party office will be cleared out, and the party will be brought to the streets.  Kejriwal said these are the 3 plans made by the BJP.

The Delhi chief minister claimed that no gold or money has been recovered from him, and the BJP, by creating false cases has got AAP leaders arrested. Kejriwal recalled that since the time he came to power in 2015, many allegations had been against him by the BJP. He said after the liquor policy scam has happened people are asking them if the scam happened then where is the money. He pointed out that in other places, when raids happen, notes and gold are recovered, but here nothing was found. Kejriwal asked the people that where is all the money?
