Winning back-to-back elections is not easy for any party as incumbency will surely hit the party. We have seen this with the civic body polls in the national capital Delhi. After winning the polls for the last 15 years BJP lost the polls this time with the ruling party AAP emerging victorious.
But surprisingly, this is not the case with the Bharatiya Janata Party in Gujarat. The party has been winning the general elections since 1995 and yet again the party won the general elections.
The 1995 elections were a game-changer for the Bharatiya Janata Party. It had won the polls by winning 121 seats despite losing the previous elections. Since then the patty has been winning all the general elections. Though the number of seats won by the party changed a bit the BJP kept on winning the polls.
The issues like slow growth rate in the country and the rising unemployment also did impact the BJP's strength. Modi's image also worked for the party as the Prime Minister extensively campaigned for the polls.
Many said that the Gujarat polls would be an example of how the party would fare in the Lok Sabha polls. Now the BJP can feel free that it can again come to power at the Centre.
Though the BJP was expected to come to power in the general polls no one expected that the saffron party would win these many seats and inch towards creating history. This shows that Image Modi is still intact.
