The baton is now in the hands of people of Gujarat who shall decide the fate of BJP and Congress when they come out to vote for the next government on December 9 for the first phase of elections.
The election has become a battle of prestige for the BJP who is ruling the state for the last 22 years. The party is leaving no stones unturned to beat the anti-incumbency and woo their voters.
However, after the support from Patidar leader Hardik Patel, Congress has succeeded in turning the ‘already lost game’ into a neck to neck fight.
Party Vice President Rahul Gandhi is doing all out efforts to turn the tide by focusing on the grass root issues like farmers and jobs in the state.
Three days ahead of the elections, News Nation carried out country’s biggest ground zero poll survey and tried to know what is in the hearts of the voters of Gujarat.
