With the campaign for the first phase of Gujarat Assembly elections ending, politicians – from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi are addressing back-to-back rallies.
The Gujarat Assembly Elections 2017 will see a political contest between the two leading parties - BJP and Congress. The BJP has been in power from the last 22 years in the state. Congress aspires to break the ruling party's winning spree by wooing the Patidar community. Gujarat has 26 Parliamentary constituencies and 182 Assembly constituencies.
There are 50,128 polling booths in Gujarat. For the first time in the state elections, a total of 102 polling stations will be manned completely by women.
Since August, the Congress has gained the support of nearly 14 percent more voters. Its predicted vote share now stands at 43 percent, the same as the BJP's. In August, the BJP was expected to trounce the Congress with a vote share of 59 percent and a projected win in 144-152 seats. But now, the ruling party has slipped so much that it is projected to just about hit the half-way mark in the 182-member Gujarat Assembly.
