Gujarat bypolls: BJP leading in all eight seats
Gandhinagar/UNI: In the by-elections for eight Assembly constituencies which went to polls last week, Bharatiya Janata Party was leading in all the seats, as per Election Commission trends.
The principal opposition Indian National Congress was trailing in Morbi Assembly seat by a narrow margin of over 4,500 votes.
At other seven seats--Abdasa, Limbdi, Dhari, Gadhada, Karjan, Dangs, Kaprada, the BJP has maintained a handsome lead.
The bypolls were necessitated after eight Congress MLAs resigned before the Rajya Sabha polls this mid year.
Five of them later joined the BJP and are contesting on the saffron party ticket.
Currently, the 182-member House has 172 MLAs, of which 103 are from the BJP, 65 from Congress, two from Bharatiya Tribal Party, and one each from NCP and Independent.
The elections for two vacant seats--Dwarka And Morva Hadaf--have not been announced yet as the matter is sub-judice.
