Gujarat Assembly
Elections 2017;
Despite BJP Majority ,
Congress Makes a Mark
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) retained Gujarat for the
sixth consecutive time with a tally of 99 seats, which is seven
seats more than the minimum requirement of 92 to form the
government in the 182-member state Assembly. However, it fell
considerably short of its Mission 150 target, which was devised
by party chief Amit Shah. Also short by 16 seats from its last
elections in Gujarat in 2012.
