BJP’s Majority Declines in Gujarat Bypoll

BJP candidate Satish Patel won the Manjalpur Assembly by-election in Gujarat. However, the party’s winning margin has witnessed a significant decline compared to the previous election. In the 2022 Assembly polls, BJP secured the seat with a margin of over one lakh votes, while the latest bypoll victory came with a reduced margin of around 30,000 votes.

The sharp fall in BJP’s majority in its traditional stronghold of Manjalpur has sparked political discussions. Analysts view the bypoll result as an indication of changing political trends in the state.
