Gandhinagar: The main opposition Congress party will not be able to claim the post of the Leader of Opposition in the Gujarat assembly as the party has not won 10 percent of the total 182 seats.The Congress party has won only 17 seats this time, the lowest score so far.
In the 2017 Gujarat assembly polls, BJP won 51 of the 93 seats where polling is underway today. Congress won 39. Three seats went to Independent candidates.
As BJP's all-out effort to focus its campaign on communal lines rose to a crescendo, Congress's canvassing efforts have largely – and intentionally – been quiet. Can AAP hurt BJP as much as it can hurt Congress?
