NEW DELHI: Braving two decade old incumbency in Gujarat, BJP seems to have sailed home with two exit polls giving them a comfortable majority in a fiercely contested assembly elections.
According to Times Now-VMR Exit Poll, the saffron party is likely to win 109 seats in 182-member assembly as against 70 by Congress, while another exit poll by Republic TV-C-Voter gave BJP 108 seats and the Congress only 74.
The Congress is out of power in the state since 1995 and had put up a valiant fight in this year’s elections.
The Congress campaign banked hugely on anti-GST mood among traders in the western state even as caste leaders like Hardik Patel had backed the Opposition party. (AGENCIES)
