So at the end of the day everybody is chanting NaMo NaMo in Gujarat and Himachal completely forgetting RaGa and Hardik’s relentless efforts in upping prospects of their party. Sorry to have completely forgot AAP which had also tried its luck in BJP’s bastion Gujarat.
Almost all the media networks have generously projected comfortable win for BJP with seat projections ranging from 94 to 150 but ahead of the 92 seats mark.
During the initial hours of the voting for Gujarat elections on Thursday, there was a controversy on Modi showing off his inked finger to the crowd when he walked to his vehicles parked 500 metre away. Congress party got so much upset about it that it asked Election Commission to file FIR against Modi accusing him of violating the model code of conduct.
Enthused by the polling and poll predictions on Gujrat Elections, chief minister Vijay Rupani projected a 150+ win for his party in the elections.
