Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a roadshow in Ahmedabad on Sunday after his landslide victory in the Gujarat assembly elections. People greeted PM Modi during the roadshow. Meanwhile, the swearing-in ceremony of BJP's Bhupendra Patel as the Chief Minister of Gujarat is on Monday. PM Modi has reached Ahmedabad to attend this ceremony. Bhupendra Patel will take oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the second consecutive term on Monday.

BJP National President JP Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh will also attend the swearing-in ceremony. Chief ministers of BJP-led states are also likely to attend the function. Party leader Bhupendra Patel will take oath as chief minister along with 20 other cabinet ministers. 

 

PM Modi on Sunday tweeted along with pictures of the roadshow: "Wholehearted welcome by the people on reaching Ahmedabad. Will attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new Gujarat government tomorrow." Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Friday submitted his resignation to Governor Acharya Devvrat after registering a historic victory for the BJP in the state assembly elections ahead of the formation of the new government. CM Patel along with State BJP President CR Patil, Minister of State for Home Harsh Shanghvi, Health and Family Welfare Minister Hrishikesh Patel and Chief Whip of Gujarat Pankaj Desai had reached Raj Bhavan on Friday at around 12 noon to tender the resignation of the government, which was accepted by the Governor.

After this, the Gujarat BJP held a legislative party meeting at 10.30 am on Saturday at the state BJP office "Kamalam" in Gandhinagar, after which the leaders met the governor at around 2 pm and staked claim to form the government.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has created a new record in the results of the Gujarat Assembly elections. In Gujarat, which has 182 assembly seats, 156 BJP candidates won the elections. The Congress suffered the most. The Congress came straight down to 17 from 77 seats. Means Congress had to bear the loss of 60 seats. This time the condition of the Aam Aadmi Party, which claimed to form the government, was also very bad. Only five candidates of AAP could win the elections. Three seats went to independent candidates, while the Samajwadi Party (SP) won one seat in the state.

This is the BJP's biggest victory in its seventh consecutive assembly election in Gujarat since the state's formation in 1960. Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel also created history. He won the Ghatlodiya constituency by a record margin of around 1,92,000 votes. In the last assembly polls in 2017, the BJP had won 99 seats, the Congress was left with 77, and the NCP, BTP and independents bagged 1, 2 and 3 seats, respectively.
