NEW DELHI: By winning 156 of the 182 seats in the Gujarat assembly election on Thursday, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has created several records. However, the party also surmounted several hurdles to create these records.
The BJP has created the record of winning the highest number of seats that the state has ever seen. The earlier record was that of the Congress when it had won 149 seats in the 1985 assembly election with Madhavsinh Solanki as the state chief minister.
