The results of the elections for 182 seats in Gujarat will be released a few hours from now. The BJP, which has been in power for 27 years, is claiming victory again, while the Congress is also talking about returning to power. AAP, which made its entry just before the elections, is also hopeful of a better result.
In the tug-of-war between political parties, the political future of 3 stalwarts also hinges on the election results. These include the names of state Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, and youth leader Hardik Patel.
1. Bhupendra Bhai Patel - Presently he is the CM of Gujarat. Patel was handed over the chief minister's chair this year after the removal of Vijay Rupani. He is considered the third big face in Gujarat after PM Modi and Amit Shah.
Why is the future in danger?
During a meeting, Amit Shah said – If BJP gets an absolute majority, then Bhupendra Bhai will become the Chief Minister. In such a situation, it is believed that if the government does not get the majority, then Bhupendra's chair can go. Although the exit poll figures are a relief for Bhupendra Patel.
2. Ashok Gehlot - Chief Minister of Rajasthan. Congress has made him a senior observer for the Gujarat elections. The entire responsibility of the election rests on Gehlot. Gehlot has fielded more than 15 of his ministers to win Gujarat.
Why the political crisis in Gehlot?
Gehlot's chair is in danger since the events that took place in Jaipur on 25 September. The Sachin Pilot camp is constantly attacking him and is demanding a change in the Chief Minister. The Congress's high command has kept silent because of the Gujarat elections. According to Congress sources, a decision can be taken on Rajasthan after the election results. The party also made Sukhjinder Randhawa the new in-charge on Tuesday.
The Congress high command also has reports of indiscipline of three leaders including two ministers of Gehlot. It is believed that if the result of the Gujarat elections is not favorable, then a big decision can be taken on Gehlot.
3. Hardik Patel- In 2015, Hardik Patel, who came into the limelight from Gujarat's famous Patidar movement, is also in the fray. Patel is contesting on the symbol of BJP from the Viramgam assembly seat. Due to his conviction in the Mehshana riots, Hardik could not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Why political future in danger?
Viramgam is a traditional seat of the Congress and the party has been winning for the last two consecutive terms. In comparison to Hardik, this time Congress has fielded Bharvad Lakhabhai Bhiyabhai as its candidate.
Hardik Patel has been a big face of the Patidar movement. Although contesting elections for the first time. Leaving the movement, he joined Congress and the party made him its working president. In such a situation, if Hardik loses his first election, then his electoral power may be questioned.
