Celebrations have begun at BJP office in Gandhinagar as early trends see the saffron party take a massive lead in Gujarat leaving Congress and AAP far behind.
The BJP currently leads by 152 seats, Congress trails at 20 seats while the Aam Aadmi Party has so far failed to cross double digits in Gujarat.
If BJP wins with 152 seats, it will break multiple records, including its own. In 2002, BJP had come to power with 127 seats and since then despite remaining in power, the party saw its seat tally decrease gradually.
That said, the BJP has had to battle anti-incumbency after being in power for 25 years. It is banking on Modi's charisma and appeal to contain anti-incumbency. Modi addressed as many as 30 election rallies.
