Gujarat Assembly Election Even as top BJP leaders have been visiting Gujarat and the opposition Congress struggling to hold on its flock together, speculations are rife that the state might see early elections.
The frivolous and contrived complaints against Jignesh Mevani could not have prompted police action without the approval of the top brass in Assam Police and without a nudge from BJP leaders
Gujarat assembly polls are scheduled for end of the year.
The ruling BJP will attempt to hold on to power for the seventh time, on its own. After the party’s stupendous electoral performance in Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have been visiting the state frequently. Modi is scheduled to visit Gujarat again in May.
Gujarat BJP in-charge Bhupendra Yadav has been holding meetings with party leaders, and party chief J.P. Nadda too is expected to be in Gujarat in the next few days.
Elections are normally not held during monsoon, and in Gujarat monsoon sets in around June 15. Speculations of early elections are because of the fact that even if dissolution of the assembly is announced in the next couple of days, there will still be 45 days for issuing the notification and completing the election.
The BJP would certainly like to take advantage of the situation as it is better placed than both the opposition Congress and new entrant Aam Aadmi Party.
Gujarat Election 2022
Gujarat Assembly Election Avid Gujarat watchers are not surprised at the arrest of Jignesh Mevani by Assam Police and the plea by Gujarat Government to withdraw a case against Hardik Patel. While sceptics continue to wonder if AAP will damage BJP more in the election and if Hardik Patel can afford to quit the Congress, all out efforts are on to weaken and demoralize the Congress and sow doubts and confusion in its ranks ahead of the election due later this year.
Gujarat party chief C.R. Paatil has initiated an ‘each day, one district’ tour of 33 districts in the state. He has often reiterated that the BJP wants to break all electoral records in the state. The party wants to break the record of the Congress’ 149 seats achieved under the leadership of Madhavsinh Solanki in the mid-1980s.
The programmes of PM Modi in the state are arranged in such a manner that he is able to cover a cross section of the society.
The Congress, meanwhile, is unable to stop leaders from leaving the party. On Sunday, former MLA Manilal Vaghela joined the BJP, and another leader Kailash Ghadvi join the AAP.
Though the Congress also is organizing programmes in different parts of the state, there are clear signs that all is not well within the party. Congress working president Hardik Patel recently alleged that he is not allowed to function freely. He told THE WEEK that he had discussions with Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and K.C. Venugopal. Patel said he is hopeful that a solution would be brought about.
Responding to a question on rumours about him joining the BJP, Patel said, “I have never given a statement that I am joining the BJP.” He, however, added that it is important for one to appreciate the strength of their opponents.
