In the 182-member Assembly, BJP and Congress won 99 seats and 80 seats respectively in the recently concluded Polls in Gujarat.
A look at the Votes Polled for the two major parties reveal how close the contest has been. The margin of victory in as many as 16 Assembly Constituencies is less than 2,000. In some of the constituencies, Margin is just around 200 votes.
Parties like NCP, BSP and few Independents had hurt the vote share of Congress Party by dividing the anti-incumbency vote. Imagine, What would have been the situation had if all the 16 seats went to Congress. This would have changed the political equations and atmosphere in the country.
Narendra Modi is really lucky to see BJP on the winning side in Gujarat. Had if the Saffron Party lost in Gujarat Assembly Polls 2017, There would be a negative impact on the party throughout the country & people would have reached the conclusion that Modi's honeymoon period has ended.
