Will Gujarat become the ‘second Punjab’, or will Kejriwal be an ‘app’ for the Congress? |Gujarat Votes| Gujarat Elections| BJP Congress | AAP | | Manoramna News Premium

Gujarat is stepping into the political heat of the assembly elections to be held later this year. Apart from being a national election, less than three months before the political battle that holds the attention of the whole country. Although the date of the elections has not been announced, the BJP ruling has already fueled the campaign led by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Rahul Gandhi, who started Parivartan Sankalp conventions in the state last week, will be more active in the election campaign after the Bharat Jodo Yatra. But what is being discussed in the political centers now is not their expected moves. This is the mass entry of Arvind Kejriwal who announced that he will take over the state administration from Delhi. The Aam Aadmi Party, which defeated the Congress, which had a strong political base in Punjab, and became the only party to rule more than one state after the BJP and the Congress, announces that it will repeat that history in Gujarat. Kejriwal says people are tired of two decades of BJP rule and people will vote for them instead of Congress which is unable to sweep them. The Congress, which gave the impression of capturing the government last time and surrendered to a narrow margin after seeing a strong competition, hopes to correct history this time. But the Congress is worried that the Aam Aadmi Party’s entry into state politics will turn things upside down. With Kejriwal’s party bagging a large share of the votes that the Congress should have, the BJP is fully confident that Narendra Modi’s rule in the state can be easily maintained. Political observers are also looking at this equation. Will Kejriwal turn Gujarat into another Punjab, or will he split the vote and smooth the way for the BJP?
