The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to win on all 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat third-time in a row. As per the numbers predicted by India Today-My Axis, BJP is expected to have a clean sweep across all Lok Sabha constituencies in the western Indian state.
As per the survey figures for the expected vote-share provided by the polling surveyor, while 63 percent voters are said to have voted for the BJP, 30 percent are supposed to have voted in favour of the Congress. Candidates from other parties are expected to have bagged 4 percent of the total votes polled.
Speaking to India Today, Pradeep Gupta of My Axis said that the only Lok Sabha seat where the BJP candidate can expect challenge in winning is either Sabarkantha or Bharuch.
Bharuch is one of the two seats, apart from Bhavnagar, which was allotted to AAP by the Indian National Congress (INC) as a part of the pre-poll understanding in the INC-led INDI Alliance. In the former, Chaitar Vasava- Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) first time Legislator from Dedidapada had contested against BJP's Mansukh Vasava, who has the track record of consistently representing the constituency six-times in a row.
In the Sabarkantha Lok Sabha seat, BJP's Shobhana Baraiya was in contest with Congress's Tushar Chaudhary. The seat was in spotlight after BJP's first choice for the seat- Bhikaji Thakore withdrew his candidature.
