BJP set to make a hat-trick in Gujarat despite protests by section of Rajputs and opposition’s pushback

The Hindu  

Published : Apr 29, 2024 15:50 IST - 5 MINS READ The BJP won all 26 Lok Sabha seats in the general elections of 2014 and 2019 in Gujarat, and as Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks a third term in office, his brand value appears undiminished in his home State. People have unfortunately turned a blind eye to these things.” Deepal Trivedi, a journalist, said: “A large section of the Gujarati community believes these are ‘smart moves’ that help leaders to survive in politics.” Indeed, the BJP seems confident of its prospects in the State despite some initial hiccups involving Kshatriyas over something that the BJP candidate from Rajkot, Parshottam Rupala, said. Jadeja, president of International Rajput Samaj, said: “We will appeal to the people to vote for the Congress to defeat the BJP’s arrogance. Despite our community supporting the BJP for all these years, they have ignored our honest and only demand.” Rupala’s Congress opponent, Paresh Dhanani, has seized on the issue. Otherwise, the BJP leadership would have tried to make amends.” Congress lacks dedicated candidates The BJP’s position is also strengthened by the Congress’ lack of dedicated candidates.
