Background edit
The tenure of 14th Gujarat Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 18 February 2023.[2] The previous assembly elections were held in December 2017. After the election, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed the state government, with Vijay Rupani becoming Chief Minister.[3]
Vijay Rupani resigned from Chief Minister post on 11 September 2021[4] and he was succeeded by Bhupendra Patel as the new Chief Minister.[5]
Since the last assembly elections, several bypolls were held, most of which were won by the BJP, taking their strength from 99 to 112 seats.[6]
Local body elections edit
BJP swept the 2021 Gujarat local body elections by winning all corporation and district panchayats and Indian National Congress (Congress) gained majority in one municipality and 18 taluka panchayats.[7] On one side BJP increased its strength and on the other side Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) made significant inroads to be considered as a contender in the state.[8][9]
In 2017 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election, BJP lost in some districts of Saurashtra region due to farmer and Patidar agitation; notably in Amreli and Gir Somnath where it lost all seats to Congress.[10] However, when panchayat elections were held in Amreli along with other districts, BJP gained a two-thirds majority translating to a lead on all five assembly segments of Amreli, while AAP gaining in rural Gujarat indicated that Gujarat is heading towards a three-cornered contest.[11][12]
In the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation elections, BJP got a majority by winning 41 out of 44 wards while Congress got two seats. AAP won one seat and was the third largest party in terms of vote share, which indicated increasing acceptance of AAP as a third alternative.[13] Congress dubbed the AAP as a 'B team' of the BJP for by dividing the anti-BJP votes, which ultimately favoured the BJP.[14]

Issues edit
Alcohol edit
Following the death of 50 people in 2022 Gujarat toxic liquor deaths, alcohol and drug consumption became an issue in the election.[73] Congress demanded a probe by the sitting high court judge in the illegal liquor trade in Gujarat.[74] Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi publicly asked which "ruling forces" are "giving protection to these mafia".[75] AAP state president Gopal Italia had demanded an investigation by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the incident.[76]
Drugs edit
In September 2021, 2,988.22 kilograms (6,587.9 lb) of heroin was seized from two containers which arrived at Mundra Port, from Bandar Abbas in Iran. Heroin was disguised as a consignment of semi-processed talc stones originating from Afghanistan.[77] The incident occurred again in May[78][79] and July 2022,[80] where 52 kg and 75 kg of drugs were seized from the port respectively. Notably, the Mundra Port was owned by Narendra Modi's ally[81] Gautam Adani, founder of the Adani Group.[82]
The Congress criticized the BJP-led government over their silence right after the September 2021 drug bust[83] and urged the Supreme Court to open a probe, alleging that a drug syndicate was operating from the port. It was also concerned that the drugs were sourced from Afghanistan, saying the illegal sale of these drugs might be used against India by terrorists.[84] In May, when drugs were again seized at the Mundra Port,[79] Congress again criticized the government asking why drugs were repeatedly found in the coastline of Gujarat.[78]
AAP also registered their protest on the issue of drug seizure.[85]
Gujarat ATS after seized 350 kg heroin drugs said that since Gujarat being on coast has become a preferred route for drug smuggling, the State and federal agencies have seized drug cargos upon landing.[86]
Corruption edit
The written examination for recruitment of head clerks was held on 12 December 2021 in which with 88,000 aspirants had appeared for 186 vacancies. The exam was conducted by Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB). INC alleged that Asit Vora, a BJP leader served as the chairman of GSSSB is mastermind behind this.[87] A total of 36 people from Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Sabarkantha were arrested in the case, including alleged mastermind Tushar Mer.[88]
AAP had alleged that before the examination, the question paper was leaked and sold at cost of Rs 8-12 lakh. Later on Gujarat government annulled the exam and announced re-examination scheduled for March 2022.[89] 500 supporters of AAP staged a protest outside BJP, Gandhinagar Office demanding the removal of BJP leader Asit Vora from the post of chairman of the GSSSB. BJP workers clashed with AAP protestors and the police resorted to lathicharge. BJP leader filed police case against AAP. Ninety-three AAP members were arrested including 28 women. AAP president Italia, AAP women's wing and youth wing presidents were among those arrested. Italia and other AAP leaders spent 10 days in prison before getting bail.[89]
AAP highlighted the rampant corruption leading to paper leaks for the examinations conducted by the state government being reported since 2015. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal compared it with the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh and called recruitment exams in Gujarat as Maha Vyapam Scam (great Vyapam Scam). AAP promised to create laws that would punish the paper leaking offence with ten years of punishment.[90]
Congress slammed the government over the paper leaks for the recruitment examinations.[91] They also held a mock assembly in Gandhinagar, highlighting the plight of thousands of job-seekers who had taken the now-cancelled head clerk recruitment exam. All Congress MLAs and party leaders took part in the mock assembly. Leader of the Opposition and senior Congress leader Sukhram Rathwa urged the Gujarat government to conduct a judicial inquiry through a sitting HC judge on the series of exam paper leaks, saying it amounts to cheating the youth of Gujarat. He also alleged that the RSS and the BJP were behind the paper leaks.[92] and Congress MLAs protested against the paper leaks in the assembly, standing from their seats and displaying posters in connection with the leak, causing the assembly to be adjourned for 15 minutes.[93] The Congress also staged a protest at Koba, Gandhinagar demanding Asit Vora to resign.[94]

In March, thousands of farmers across Gujarat were protesting at their taluka and district headquarters demanding adequate power supply to save standing crops.[95]

As per a survey conducted by ABP News, unemployment was the biggest issue for people in Gujarat.[96] Unemployment had been steadily increasing in the state.[97] As per the quarterly bulletin of the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), Gujarat had among the lowest rates of unemployment in urban areas.[98] As per Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) estimates - April–June 2022 bulletin, unemployment rate in Gujarat was 3.3%, lesser than the national average.[99]
There were four lakh unemployed people registered with the state's Employment Exchange Department in March 2021, out of which 3,85,506 were literate and just five percent were semi-skilled.[97] According to state budget figures released in March 2022, there are 3,46,436 educated and 17,816 semi-literate unemployed youth in Gujarat that have been registered with various employment exchanges and the government of Gujarat was able to give jobs to only 0.35% of unemployed youth over the last 2 years.[100][101]

It was the second lowest amount of class V students able to read English compared to the rural areas of all the other states.[103][104]
According to government statistics, Gujarat had a high annual dropout rate of 24% in secondary classes (grade 9-10) compared to other states.[105]

Around a dozen Congress workers were then detained by the police for burning effigy and protesting without permission.[106] On 16 May, Congress workers again held a protest against price rise in Rajkot,[107] led by Rajkot city president Arjun Khatariya.

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi launched the party's campaign in Gujarat on 5 September 2022.[133] On the same day, he visited the Ahmedabad and attended the "Parivartan Sankalp Sammelan" where he criticized the BJP government and [134] promised free electricity, farm loan waiver up to ₹3 lakh, 10 lakh jobs, compensation to families affected by COVID-19 pandemic, LPG cylinder for ₹500, free education for girls, 3,000 new English medium schools and subsidy to dairy farmers.[133]
The Congress-led a state-wide "bandh" on September 10 in Gujarat as a protest against price rise and unemployment.[135] They led demonstrations in Bharuch and other parts of Gujarat as well regarding price rise and unemployment.[136]
On 22 September, the Congress launched the "Yuva Parivartan Yatra" (Youth for Change March) in Gujarat from Ambaji, which passed through several towns and cities across 27 districts of the state.[137][138] It was held in two stages from Ambaji to Umargam and Somanth to Suigam. The Yatra travelled more than 2100 kilometres across the state.[138] The Congress distributed door-to-door "Vachan Patras" or promise letters throughout the yatra, which contains 8 promises of the Congress and 4-point failures of the BJP government. It aims to deliver about 1.55 crore (15.5 million) of such promise letters before the elections.[139] The first stage of the yatra moved throughout the tribal belt, where it focused especially on the tribal youth. The second stage of the yatra went through the Saurashtra-Kutch region.[140]
On 28 September, the Congress held a day-long yatra in Saurashtra, starting from Rajkot and concluding at Sidsar, Junagadh. The Yatra was received by Patidar leader Naresh Patel at Ma Khodiyar Temple, who welcomed the rally with 500 vehicles at the temple in Rajkot.[141]
In recent months, many protests have been held in Gujarat, in which Congress backed the protesters.[114]
On 31 October. the Congress started the Parivartan Sankalp Yatra in Gujarat, which covered 5 zones of the state, each led by senior leaders of the party, namely Ashok Gehlot, Bhupesh Baghel, Digvijay Singh, Kamal Nath, and Mukul Wasnik. These programs covered 175 out of the 182 assembly seats in Gujarat.[142][143] The yatra included 145 public meetings and 95 rallies, to establish "direct contact" with 45 million (4.5 crore) people. More than 1 million (10 lakh) party workers were expected to join the yatra.[144] It covered more than 5,400 kilometres over a week.[145]
On 6 November, the Congress released a 22-point "charge sheet" against the BJP-led state government of Gujarat. The last three decades of Gujarat have been marred by "continuous anti-people governance and mismanagement," the Congress said in the 'charge sheet'. Some highlighted points in the chargesheet were the recent Morbi bridge collapse, the release of the 11 convicted in the Bilkis Bano rape case. It also claimed that GDP rose 18-23% annually under the previous governments of Congress, whereas the state recorded a GDP decline of 1.35% in 2020-21 under the BJP government.[146][147]
On 21 November, Rahul Gandhi addressed 2 rallies in Gujarat, in Surat and in Rajkot.[148] In his speeches at the rallies he criticized the handling of the Morbi bridge collapse and claimed that the Gujarat government was trying to take away tribals' rights.[149][150]

Incidents edit
Aam Aadmi Party edit
After Surat AAP Pradesh Pramukh Sorathiya was attacked on August 31,[164] Italia posted a video message in which he allegedly made defamatory remarks, in which Aam Aadmi Party Gujarat President Gopal Italia called Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi Drugs Sanghvi while BJP state president C. R. Patil was called ex bootlegger, following which an FIR was also registered against Gopal Italia at Umra police station.[165]
Kejriwal accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP of trying to "crush" the AAP in the name of fighting corruption as they feared of getting defeated in the election. He said that the Modi government was trying to implicate AAP leaders in false corruption cases as the BJP is "not able to digest the growing popularity of the AAP in Gujarat". He accused that the AAP's growing influence in Gujarat has rattled BJP and that "the prime minister's advisor Hiren Joshi has warned several TV channels owners and their editors not to give coverage to AAP party in Gujarat, threatening them with dire consequences".[166]
On 11 September 2022, AAP alleged that the Ahmedabad Police raided its data management center in Ahmedabad, which was denied by the local police. AAP said the ruling party was "extremely rattled" by the "immense support" received by AAP in Gujarat.[167][168]
AAP national joint secretary Isudan Gadhvi alleged that the BJP had been preventing AAP spokesperson from debate by threatening TV Media. He alleged that in order to prevent a rally by Kejriwal in Vadodara, BJP threatened the owners of 13 venues and forced them to cancel programmes. Kejriwal said that stopping the opposition parties from holding election programmes was wrong for the ruling party BJP.[169][170]
AAP's candidate for Bardoli, Rajendra Solanki gave a statement to the Surat Rural Police, admitting that he received Rs 20 lakh in hawala after the said money was found in his car. The statement eventually led to the Gujarat Police busting a poll-related hawala racket in which 30 people outside the state were being hired by the AAP for distributing hawala money during the assembly elections.[171] An income tax probe revealed that the AAP sent Rs 20 crore in hawala money to Gujarat for poll-related uses in the month of October 2022. According to income tax officials, as much as Rs 50 lakh of hawala money was sent daily.[172]

When assembly speaker Nimaben Acharya refused Rathva's demand, Congress MLAs shouted slogans and raised placards against the BJP government.[175] The following day another 10 Congress MLAs were suspended for a day (from the assembly) over chaos, as they shouted slogans demanding a discussion on the OBC reservation, after speaker Acharya again declined a discussion. Many MLAs raised slogans and placards such as raised "Give OBCs, 27 per cent reservation" and "We demand caste-based census".[176]

elections edit BJP swept the 2021 Gujarat local body elections by winning all corporation and district panchayats and Indian National Congress Congress gained majority in one municipality and 18 taluka panchayats 7 On one side BJP increased its strength and on the other side Aam Aadmi Party AAP made significant inroads to be considered as a contender in the state 8 9 In 2017 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election BJP lost in some districts of Saurashtra region due to farmer and Patidar agitation notably in Amreli and Gir Somnath where it lost all seats to Congress 10 However when panchayat elections were held in Amreli along with other districts BJP gained a two thirds majority translating to a lead on all five assembly segments of Amreli while AAP gaining in rural Gujarat indicated that Gujarat is heading towards a three cornered contest 11 12 In the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation elections BJP got a majority by winning 41 out of 44 wards while Congress got two seats AAP won one seat and was the third largest party in terms of vote share which indicated increasing acceptance of AAP as a third alternative 13 Congress dubbed the AAP as a B team of the BJP for
