Gujarat Assembly Election Live Result 2019

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is unlikely to continue in his current role due to poor health as Prime Minister Narendra Modi begins his second term, according to four sources with knowledge of the matter.

The sources said that Jaitley, 66, is unlikely to take up any offer to continue in the top job steering Asia’s third-largest economy as his health has deteriorated over the past few months.

The BJP is leading in all the 26 constituencies in Gujarat. With a vote share of over 60%, the BJP seems to be emerging as a clear winner in Mr. Modi’s home turf. The party had swept all the 26 constituencies in the 2014 Parliamentary elections.

In Gandhinagar, where BJP chief Amit Shah replaced LK Advani’s candidature, the battle is in favor of the BJP with INC’s CJ Chavda trailing with a margin of close to 15,000 votes.

Exit polls had predicted a win in at least 4 constituencies for the INC in the State.

The fight remains interesting in Mahesana too where Patidar leader and Congress candidate Hardik Patel’s nomination had been declared void by the Gujarat High Court in March. Amid caste agitations in the constituency that seriously dented BJP’s prospects, the party has gained ground here, albeit with a margin of close to just 8000 votes.
