TIL Desk/National/Ahemdabad/ BJP chief Amit Shah put a lid on speculation that the party could opt for early elections in Gujarat when he said today that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “victory chariot” will roll into his home state in November. Assembly elections are due in the state only in November end, but there has been buzz that the ruling BJP could call early elections to cash in on a surge in popularity evidenced by party’s massive victory in Uttar Pradesh.
Shah, who too is from Gujarat and is visiting the state for the first time after the party’s success this month in assembly elections, was being felicitated by party workers at the Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad when he said, “Narendra bhai’s vijay rath, after traversing through the country will move into the state in November. Are you ready to give it a rousing welcome and work towards the party’s success?”
The BJP has ruled Gujarat for the last two decades including 13 years when PM Modi was Chief Minister, but the state has been cause for worry for the party recently because of big agitations by the powerful Patel community and by Dalits. It also fears an anti-incumbency sentiment in the state since PM Modi moved to the centre three years ago and many see wisdom in calling early elections.
