Gujarat bypolls: BJP, AAP win 1 seat each
AHMEDABAD [Maha Media]: The BJP and the AAP have won one seat each in the Gujarat Assembly by-elections.
In Visavadar Assembly by-election, AAP's Gopal Italia leads with 17,554 votes over BJP's Kirit Patel after 21 rounds. The Visavadar seat fell vacant after Bhayani Bhupendrabhai Gandubhai resigned.
In a post on X, AAP Gujarat expressed their gratitude, stating, “Many thanks to the people of Visavadar, Bhensan and Junagadh villages for choosing the politics of work of Aam Aadmi Party”
Delhi AAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj called it a "massive victory" and a "terrific bounce back," emphasising that despite setbacks, AAP’s influence remains strong in key regions.
Speaking to news agency, Saurabh Bharadwaj said, "This is a massive victory for AAP. Political analysts were saying that AAP would finish as a party. But after the loss in Delhi, AAP is winning Ludhiana West (Assembly by-elections) and we are also winning a by-election in AAP's stronghold of Gujarat by a huge margin. I think this is a major victory. A few people used to say that Arvind Kejriwal would be sidelined in national politics; this is a terrific bounce back."
In Kadi Assembly by-election, BJP's Rajendra Chavda continues his lead over Congress's Ramesh Chavda; currently leading by a margin of 37,693 votes after 18 rounds of counting. AAP's Jagdish Chavda is trailing in a distant third position.
The Kadi bye-election was necessitated following the death of sitting MLA Karsanbhai Punjabhai Solanki in February this year.
