Gujarat Assembly elections | With two Opposition firebrands of 2017 now in BJP camp, election loses its spark

The Hindu  

A week is a long time in politics, and five years can be a millennia, if one goes by the trajectory of at least two out of the three main players of the opposition line up in Gujarat in the 2017 polls — Hardik Patel and Alpesh Thakor — with the third, Jignesh Mevani holding on to the opposition plank this time around, too. Mr. Patel objects to his joining the BJP being characterised as a “180 degree turn”. When asked whether his joining the BJP was due to the large number of legal cases against him from the time of the PAAS-led agitation, he responded that cases are still being dealt with, and, “I need to look at my future political career, too.” “There is no alternative to the BJP in Gujarat, as explained by the fact that Rahul Gandhi is doing a padayatra in south India while polls were underway in Gujarat,” Mr. Patel said. Mr. Thakor, unlike Mr. Patel, comes from a traditionally Congress-minded family and his community, the Thakors of north Gujarat, have been the bedrock of Congress support in the State and remain so.
