The BJP’s near-complete domination in Gujarat

The Hindu  

In December 2022, when the Bharatiya Janata Party stormed to power in Gujarat by winning a record 156 out of 182 seats and a vote share of 52.5%, there was a general sense that there was no need for it to induct leaders from the Opposition. Sometime in the middle of these exits, former Union Minister and Rajya Sabha member from the Congress, Naran Rathwa, too quit the beleaguered party and joined the BJP. Ministers in Gujarat including Balvantsinh Rajput, Raghavji Patel, and Kunwarji Bavaliya; Union Minister Devusinh Chauhan; Rajya Sabha MP Narhari Amin; and several others such as Hardik Patel, who was at the forefront of the Patidar quota agitation, and Alpesh Thakor, the face of the Other Backward Classes, were brought in from the Congress. “Nobody joins the ruling party out of love,” said a Congress leader who joined the BJP a few years ago. Managing a business is impossible if you are not on the right side of the regime nowadays.” However, it is equally true that many leaders in the Congress are frustrated with the lack of leadership and direction from the party high command.
