How Crucial Are Gujarat Assembly Polls?
X
BJP has been holding on to power for the past two decades in Gujarat. This developed state was instrumental in making Modi an icon of development and Prime Minister of India.

Gujarat Assembly Polls happening now are crucial for upcoming Assembly elections in few States and 2019 General Elections. These are more like Semi Finals for both BJP and Congress.

Modi Wave continued in the country since 2014, except in Delhi, Bihar and Punjab. The landslide victory in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Polls ruined the hopes of Opposition Parties in the country. Even in Assam, BJP managed to form the government. The vote share and seats had increased in West Bengal. Except for the Southern States, Domination of BJP could be seen all over the country.

If BJP fails to win in the own state of Modi and Amit Shah, That will be like a death blow to the National party. There will be negative impact on the 2018 Assembly Polls in Chhatisgarh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Rajasthan and Tripura.

Rahul Gandhi used lapses in the implementation of GST as a weapon in Gujarat Polls by describing it as Gabbar Singh Tax. He is on a Temple visiting spree in the past few months for Hindu vote bank. Immense maturity has been shown by Prince during the poll campaigning. Hardik Patel's revolt against BJP seeking Patel Reservations helped Congress. Even winning the confidence of Almesh Thakur and Jignesh Mewani could be a turning point for Main Opposition. If Congress creates history in Assembly Polls, That will be like a gift to Rahul Gandhi who is going to take charge as party chief soon.
