Gujarat Byelections

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates Ram Mokariya and Dinesh Anavadiya are set to get elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat with two dummy candidates withdrawing their nominations today.

The BJP on Tuesday announced the names of candidates who will be contesting the byelections for two Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat which will be held on March 1.

The BJP was looking set to sweep the recently held assembly bypolls with leads and wins in more than 40 of 58 seats across 11 states, including Madhya Pradesh where it was ahead in 19 of 28 constituencies, according to Election Commission trends.

A total of 60.75 per cent voter turnout was recorded in byelections to eight Assembly seats in Gujarat, the state Election Commission said on Wednesday.

Gujarat By-election 2019: Voting for bypolls in six Assembly constituencies of Gujarat began on Monday morning.

The Supreme Court will tomorrow hear a petition by the Congress to hold simultaneous elections to two Rajya Sabha seats that have fallen vacant after BJP's Amit Shah and Smriti Irani moved to the Lok Sabha.

The BJP's losses in by-elections on Tuesday took some sheen off Narendra Modi's homecoming, his first visit to Gujarat after he took over as Prime Minister in May this year.

Narendra Modi's move to Delhi as Prime Minister has created two huge openings in Gujarat- as chief minister, he was a member of the state assembly, and he then ran for Parliament from Vadodara in his home state, but chose to represent Varanasi, which he also won, in the Lok Sabha.

Armed with a stunning 6-0 victory against the Congress in by-elections today, Narendra Modi needed much fewer than 140 characters to tweet, as he left the residence of BJP chief Rajnath Singh, "Going to meet Shri LK Advani ji."
