Gujarat Election Results 2022 HIGHLIGHTS: BJP Records Historic 156-Seat Win, Congress Down To 17
Gujarat Election Results 2022 Live: BJP will form the government in Gujarat for the seventh consecutive term. The Congress, however, is on the verge of its worst loss in the state.
Background
Gujarat Election Results 2022 Live: The BJP has recorded a massive landslide victory, winning 157 constituencies in the 182-seat Gujarat Assembly, trouncing the Congress by a huge margin of 141 seats.
Addressing party workers at the party headquarters in Gandhinagar, PM Narendra Modi said, "Gujarat's love for BJP despite it being in power for 25 years is unprecedented, they have broken all records, written history. People voted for BJP as it is taking all facilities to the poor and middle class at the earliest. Support to BJP shows people's anger against dynasty rule and corruption."
The BJP’s king-sized win broke the previous record of the highest number of seats won by a party in the Gujarat Assembly. The previous record was held by the Congress that won 149 seats in 1985 under the erstwhile CM Madhavsinh Solanki.
The Congress, meanwhile, managed to win only 16 seats, setting an unenviable record. The least number of seats won by the Congress in Gujarat earlier was 33, which it secured in the 1990 Gujarat assembly elections.
The AAP, despite its paltry haul of KKK seats, had something to smile about after it won BBB seats, which earned it the tag of a ‘national party’.
The outcome of Gujarat election is an important indicator of PM Narendra Modi's popularity for the general elections slated to be held in 2024. It will also be a springboard for BJP's preparations for elections to Karnataka, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh next year.
