Ahmedabad:
As he kicks off the poll campaign in his home state today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address between 32 and 35 rallies in Gujarat in the next two weeks, where assembly elections will be held on December 9 and 14.
The Prime Minister begins his campaign today from Bhuj, a BJP stronghold that also has 33 per cent Muslim voters. Later in the day, he will address rallies in Jasdan town of Rajkot, Dhari in Amreli and Kamrej in Surat district. Amreli is dominated by the powerful Patel community, who the BJP hopes will continue to back it despite their recent displeasure over not being included in castes that get benefits of affirmative action.
The polling for the two-phase elections in the state, having a total of 182 assembly seats, will take place on December 9 and 14 and the votes will be counted on December 18. While 89 seats of Saurashtra and South Gujarat region will go to polls in the first phase, the election in the remaining 93 constituencies in central and northern regions will be held in the second phase.
