Alpesh Thakor of the BJP leads the Gandhinagar South Assembly constituency, while incumbent Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel leads Dr Amee Yajnik of the Congress by 71,744 votes in Ghatlodia.
The ruling BJP is also in charge in Morbi, where a horrific bridge collapse on October 30th killed more than 130 people. Kantibhai Amrutiya, a five-term MLA, currently leads the constituency.
The celebrations at the Gandhinagar BJP office have already begun as the party sweeps the Gujarat elections. According to official EC trends, the BJP is leading in 152 of the 182 seats.
According to Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, the Gujarat model is now being endorsed and accepted.
"People have endorsed and accepted the Gujarat model since 2000-2001." The model that we are presenting to the country is being accepted. I congratulate the Gujarati people and the BJP. "It's one of the largest polling records in history," he said.
