New Delhi: All is not well for the BJP in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home turf. Ground reports being received from Gujarat by the party high command indicate that the forthcoming Assembly polls could be the “toughest” one the party has faced in 15 years.
Apart from the anti-incumbency that Chief Minister Vijay Rupani’s government is facing, and the Dalit and Patidar agitations which refuse to die down, there’s been feedback that Congress scion Rahul Gandhi’s recent rallies and yatras in Gujarat evoked a “positive response” and the party could “pose a major challenge.”
