The ruling BJP is heading towards a decisive victory in the Gujarat local body elections, taking an unassailable lead over the Congress and other parties, winning 6,472 of more than 9,900 seats with counting still underway on Tuesday. ''The bond between Gujarat and the BJP gets even stronger!

He added that people have blessed the hard work of the BJP over the years. ''I assure the people of Gujarat that we will work even harder in the times to come and take Gujarat to newer heights of progress. I would like to applaud the large family of Gujarat BJP Karyakartas for their efforts at the grassroots. They have always worked among the people and addressed their problems. This is why our party has time and again been the preferred choice of Gujarat,'' he said. According to the latest data shared by the State Election Commission (SEC), the Congress has secured 1,412 seats, while Independents and other parties, including the AAP and the AIMIM, have bagged 597 seats.
