BJP dominated the landscape and its candidates saw huge victory margins. There are few women, one Muslim in the assembly while voter turnout is on the decline.
The BJP's seventh term in power in Gujarat will begin today with a grand oath ceremony for Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who had replaced Vijay Rupani in September last year, ahead of the elections in the state.
It is no accident that the one state where the BJP has decisively departed from this strategy is the one in which it has done best, electorally - Uttar Pradesh.
