New Delhi: In a big victory for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party has won all the six seats (two Lok Sabha seats and four Assembly seats) in the by-polls. This includes the Porbander seat which was contested by former Congressman and now BJP leader Vitthal Radadiya.
Hailing the victory as a big win for Modi, BJP leader Amit Shah said, “People have proved that Gujarat is a BJP bastion, all because of the developmental work carried out by BJP and Narendra Modi.”
The by-polls were being considered as a litmus test for Congress as all six seats were held by it. Both the main political parties in the state, ruling BJP and opposition Congress had expressed confidence of winning majority of seats even though this by-polls did not enthuse the voters much.
