The BJP has touched the 100-mark in Gujarat, where it has won straight for the 6th time but reduced to double digits.
The BJP with great difficulty has won 99 seats but has the support of 100 now, counting an independent legislator who was expelled by the Congress.
Ratansinh Rathod, a lawmaker elected in central Gujarat, today declared his “unconditional support” for the BJP. Mr Rathod contested as an independent after he failed to get the Congress to field him.
A party needs only 92 seats in the 182-member Gujarat assembly to form a government but 100 seats were seen as a psychological mark that the BJP struggled to cross on Monday when the votes were counted in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state.
