The BJP's best tally so far came in 2002, where it bagged 127 seats. The elections, conducted in the aftermath of the post-Godhra riots, saw Narendra Modi returning as the chief minister.

New entrant AAP, which led an energetic campaign in Gujarat by showcasing its "Delhi model" of education and healthcare, is likely to open its account in the state and get anywhere between 3-11 seats.
