- The anger against @BJP4India (state & centre) is real and sharp. People are vocal (and fearless) about their disappointments with BJP.
- They don't trust @INCIndia, owing to its reckless supply of MLAs to BJP. Congress is seen as taking Gujarati's for granted.

- Gujarati's are seeking crisp and clear plans for the state. They seek action oriented-ness and not sloganeering.
- With a viable and credible option in AAP the Gujarati's are considering change seriously.

Saurashtra-Kutch - the biggest political division in the state both in terms of area and number of constituencies, swung dramatically in favour of INC in 2017 as compared to 2012. INC gained 14 seats in 2017 while the BJP lost 12 seats in the region.

Despite the swing, BJP gained around 1% vote share while the INC clocked a whopping 9% gain in vote share. It is noteworthy that this region is the least urbanised in the state and that BJP lost on 4 SC reserved seats from its 2012 tally which went to INC in 2017.

Despite a very close fight in 1990 between JD (70 seats) and BJP (67 seats), Gujarat was ruled by Chimanbhai Patel’s Janata Dal from 1990-95 with support from @INCGujarat . Ever since the dissolution of JD into INC in 1995, the state turned more or less into a Saffron bastion.
1995 till the last election in 2017, Gujarati’s have given a clear mandate to the BJP. @INCGujarat , ever since, has held second position in every election, although with less than half @BJPGujarat seats at least till 2012 elections. Deeper analysis of 2012 & 2017 follows.
