GANDHINAGAR: In a surprising development, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel were trailing on Monday as officials counted the votes polled in the Assembly elections.
Both Rupani and Patel were at the second place in Rajkot West and Mehsana constituencies respectively.
The December 9 and 14 contest was the first election in the state after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister in 2014.
