The Congress party is leading on 20 seats which are way less than what it won in the 2017 polls. The grand-old party had won 77 seats in the last elections in the state. BJP is certainly gaining numbers in the state where it won 99 seats in the last assembly polls.
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.
So far, Congress' tally of 149 in the 1985 Assembly election holds the record for the most number of seats won by a party in the state. No party has been able to cross the 130-seat mark since then.
The Gujarat Assembly polls were held in two phases on December 1 and December 5.
