The reality is that despite GST, demonetization and the Patidar agitation, a Congress victory in Gujarat was always a bit of doubt. The people cannot take it here as long as Modi at the helm of affairs.
The best that Rahul could hope for was crossing the 80-mark. As it stands, the BJP has done no better than it has done in the last few elections excluding the 2014 general election where it swept the state.
The chance of Gujarat losing its saffron hue in this election, or even in 2022, is zero as long as Narendra Modi is in the driving seat.
We don’t need an exit poll because people have decided that Modi is Gujarat for Gujaratis and no amount of anti-incumbency is going to topple the BJP.
Now the exit polls have come to the same conclusion.One can conclude that even 2019 it is going to be BJP at the centre. Just two states will be left for the Congress in the near future.
With Sonia talking about Retirement, Rahul and Priyanka must fasten their belts for a better future.
