AHMEDABAD: BJP candidate Karshanbhai Punjabhai Solanki defeats Chavda Rameshbhai Maganbhai of Congress from Kalol constituency of Gujarat with a vote margin of 7746.

Congress candidate Chavada Rameshbhai Maganbhai had won from this seat in 2012. 

The BJP today retained the power in Gujarat for the record sixth time, with trends from 182 Assembly seats giving it a lead in almost 100 seats while the Congress was following on nearly 70.

The elections for 182-seat Assembly were held on December 9 and 14, after an acrimonious campaign, which was dominated by a face-off between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

In the 2012 elections, the BJP had won 115 seats while the Congress emerged victorious on 61 seats.

The BJP has been in power in the state since 1995, winning consecutive elections in the home state of Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.
