Vijay Rupani, the CM of Gujarat who visited a temple in Rajkot , claimed an easy win for his party the BJP, and said there is “no challenge” for him.
Rupani is contesting from Rajkot-West, said to be a “safe” seat for the ruling BJP which has been representing it since 1985. He is facing a challenger in Congress’ Indranil Rajyaguru.
Though Rajkot-West is a stronghold of the BJP, the Congress has put up a strong challenge by bringing in Mr Rajyaguru, the sitting lawmaker from Rajkot-East, to rework the caste combination in the party’s favour.
To retain his seat, Mr Rupani needs support of the powerful Patidars and the trading community which dominate the region. The traders are upset over demonetisation and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST)
