All eyes are once again on the less-in-number yet influential Patidar or Patel community of Gujarat, which had put the ruling BJP on the edge in the 2017 Assembly elections that took place in the shadow of Hardik Patel-led quota agitation to secure OBC status for the community. While political analysts believe that most Patidars will vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party this time, former quota stir leaders think that many young voters from the community are open to other options, such as a new entrant - the Aam Aadmi Party.

The Gujarat Assembly polls were held in two phases on December 1 and December 5. Results will be announced along with Himachal polls on December 8.
