Dehradun, Dec 17: The Gujarat Assembly elections could work as a trailblazer in the forthcoming panchayat and local bodies elections in Uttaranchal, state BJP president Manohar Kant Dhyani said today. "To a certain extent, Gujarat Assembly elections can make an impact in the coming panchayat and local bodies elections in Uttaranchal," Dhyani told newsmen here after a group of social workers from Mussoorie joined BJP here.
However, Dhyani said the circumstances in the hill state are different from those in Gujarat where the BJP stormed back to power riding on 'Rashtravad' wave.
Referring to the party's defeat in the Nainital byelection, he admitted that the opposition votes got divided between BJP and BSP.
