BJP win over in Himachal and Gujarat but not as high as it was intending while rahul quite satisfied with performance in Gujarat

New Delhi: As Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh election result finally out with gaining losing status making victory all they need to think about. While BJP win with fifth consecutive term in Gujarat but not with as much as it was aiming and as to Himachal, after running an aggressive campaign in Gujarat in Himachal Pradesh, BJP claimed victory in both the states. Himachal Pradesh election was essentially viewed as a power tussle between Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Prem Kumar Dhumal who loosed from where he was seated.

Gujarat

Finally BJP settles in Gujarat with 99 seats but still not with as much expected certainly losing its touch while contest that was often close and mostly tough as on Monday BJP retained Gujarat but missed the century-mark in 182 assembly election though Congress went down fighting winning 80 seats.

Although Dalit activist-lawyers Jignesh Mevani, 37 years  which came into view with challenging 1/3rd  of troika that challenge the ruling BJP in Gujarat but certainly ruled out joining any political party after his debut win election as an independent candidate with congress support. As BJP was leading 103 seats in 182 seats Gujarat legislature as noon progress according to early trends from Election commission that more than the 92 needed for majority though this was lowest tally in two decades for BJP in Gujarat while wiped out party Congress seem again took hold with gaining 76 seats in this election.

Jignesh Mevani, who, along with Hardik Patel and Alpesh Thakor, became the Congress’s key weapons in the Gujarat campaign, won from Vadgam, a constituency that the BJP won last time.

Alpesh Thakor, 40, who was recruited by the Congress before the elections as a representative of the OBC or Other backward Castes in Gujarat, also won from Radhanpur, one of the state’s largest constituencies. Hardik Patel much talked candidate who certainly had seemed powered the Gujarat election is the only one who didn’t contest as he is too young to qualify. But the face of the Patel or Patidar campaign for quotas in government jobs and education appeared to have delivered a setback for the BJP in Saurashtra, where the Patidar vote counts.

All three leaders are seen to have given valuable street power to the Congress, which ended up with its best tally in the state since 1985.However Gujarat result will have impact on upcoming polls including the 2019 national election. A narrower victory may prompt PM Modi to resort to populist spending to boost support before he faces re-election in early 2019. That risks widening India’s already bloated budget deficit and pressure the battered bond market. The result could also embolden Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who tapped into discontent against PM Modi’s economic policies before as many as eight state elections over the next year.

Himachal Pradesh

Himachal Pradesh (HP) also switches to BJP and Congress get trampled while even wining in the state BJP made impressive comeback in HP on Monday by bagging 44 seats of total 68 seats and reducing the congress to 21. However no party had been elected to power twice in consequently in row for 32years in the state, both CM Virbhadra Singh and his son Vikramaditya Singh won later made entry from (rural) the results in Himachal Pradesh show that people will reject parties lacking development agenda and are embroiled in all wrong acts.

Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Narendra Tomar will conduct a similar tour in Himachal Pradesh to do the same.He finally addresses the question of why his Mission 150 wasn’t a success: “I did not know the Congress campaign would stoop to such a low level,” he says. “We were on the receiving end of an extremely bad campaign… look at Mani Shankar Aiyar’s statement about the Prime Minister.”Asked about allegations of EVM tampering, Shah testily tells a reporter to ask the Congress what happened in Punjab in the Assembly elections earlier this year.
