It is unlikely that the Rahul led Congress will win the Gujarat election. Modi and Shah have no speed limit when it comes to elections. Every election has to be fought as if it is a battle for survival.
Money is flowing like water. The Election Commission broke from usual practice to delay the announcement of polls in the state, and the BJP took advantage of this perfectly to shower goodies on Gujarat.
Even the GST rate on khakras is reduced.
Rahul Gandhi speeches have a clear message “no jobs”, “small enterprises good” and he has come up with a Modi-style acronym Gabbar Singh Tax” (GST) that has gone viral.
As for Congress party, it is not easy for them. They may have no chance of winning Gujarat, but as things stand they don’t have any chance of winning 2019, either.
