Amid the election trends going up in poll-bound Gujarat, BJP is all set to have the last laugh in the Gujarat Assembly Election 2017. If the predictions made by various opinion polls are to be believed. The ruling party will be way below its target of 150 seats.
According to the latest survey by CVoter, the BJP is likely to win 109 seats and Congress may have to settle with only 76 seats in the Gujarat assembly elections. The Congress, on the other hand, is looking for making gains, but not enough to capture power in the state.
By analyzing the polls of polls conducted by CVoter, Times Now-VMR, and Lokniti-CSDS-ABP – the BJP will win 105 seats in the Gujarat assembly, while the Congress will manage only 74. The other candidates may win 3 seats.
The opinion poll numbers show that the ruling BJP appears to be cruising to victory yet again, though they differ on the margin of victory. While the Times Now-VMR opinion poll predicts 106-116 seats for the BJP, CVoter/TV9 predicts 109 seats for the ruling party. The Lokniti-CSDS-ABP poll gives the BJP 91 to 99 seats. These predictions put BJP in a comfortable position with 91 being the majority mark in the 182-member assembly.
The Congress, on the other hand, will have to contend with anything between 63 and 86 seats in the assembly. While the Lokniti-CSDS-ABP poll gives Congress 78 to 86 seats, Times Now-VMR opinion poll puts the figure between 63 and 73 seats. The CVoter/TV9 predicts 73 seats for the Congress.
This despite the fact that at least two opinion polls show an increase in Congress vote share compared to the 2012 assembly polls.
