On whether there will be a split in the anti-incumbency vote between Congress and the AAP, paving the way to victory for the BJP in Gujarat, columnist Shivam Vij said, "Usually, when people want change, when they're angry with the government, there's a high voter turnout. People are of the opinion this time that the BJP's winning anyways. Even a terrible performance by the AAP will ensure such a split of opposition votes that the BJP will win a lot of seats this election."
