Such is the election program of Gujarat
BJP has been in power in Gujarat since 1995.
Before the assembly elections in Gujarat, the political mercury is hot. BJP is trying to retain the power of Gujarat and this time it has set a target of 160 plus out of 182 seats. At the same time, Congress is trying to oust BJP from power this time. In the midst of all this, the Aam Aadmi Party is also trying hard with all the promises to replace both of them with a new alternative.
The first elections were held in the year 1992 in Gujarat, which came into existence after separating from Maharashtra in 1960. The Congress remained in power in the state for a long time, but when the BJP won the 1995 elections, Gujarat became the laboratory of all the new decisions of the party. In the 2017 assembly elections, the BJP certainly faced a challenge from the Congress, but was successful in retaining its power.
