New Delhi: Gujarat voted this month in two phases
for a crucial state election,
results of which are due tomorrow. Many analysts are calling this election a pivotal moment: a hugely important election not only for Gujarat but also for national politics. A win for the BJP will revive the momentum for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and
party chief Amit Shah in the run up to the next Lok Sabha elections. A defeat for the BJP in Gujarat could have dramatic repercussions - and be a major roadblock for the BJP's aim to be re-elected at the centre - two years from now. For the Congress, the election will set the tone for
Rahul Gandhi's tenure as party chief - a post that has been on its way to him for years but one that
he took on only this week. So this Gujarat election is as big as it gets - both for Gujarat and for political equations in the entire country.
