The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been ruling Gujarat for almost two straight decades, seems to get another five years in power in Gujarat. BJP is all set to repeat the performance of 2012 assembly elections even without Narendra Modi as CM candidate. Though BJP’s claims of getting more than 150 seats may not turn into reality.
According to the Exit Poll conducted by ABP News- Lokniti- CSDS, BJP is expected to form government with almost similar seats it got in 2012 assembly elections.

BJP’s vote share is also leaving Congress far behind which had claimed one sided victory in the elections. The contest which once was looking very close may now end up as huge defeat for Congress.
