Polling was held for 25 out of the 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat in a single phase on May 7.This election cycle, however, has introduced a strategic shift within the BJP’s ranks, marked notably by the decision to drop five sitting MPs in its second list of candidates. This calculated move highlights the party’s dynamic approach towards representation and its commitment to adaptability in the ever-evolving political landscape. The BJP’s initial list of 195 candidates, covering 15 Lok Sabha constituencies, set the stage for a diverse and inclusive representation, reflecting meticulous planning and foresight in navigating electoral dynamics.
As the electoral battle lines were drawn, 25 out of the state’s 26 constituencies prepared for the democratic exercise, spanning regions such as Kachchh, Banaskantha, Patan, Mahesana, Sabarkantha, Gandhinagar, and more. Among these, constituencies like Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Porbandar, Jamnagar, and Junagadh emerged as focal points, witnessing the convergence of stalwarts from various political spectrums.
