What is in store for India as BJP sweeps Gujarat and Congress wins Himachal Pradesh

Santwana Bhattacharya, Editor, The New Indian Express Group, speaks about landslide victory of BJP in Gujarat, Congress' win in Himachal, PM Modi's image in #Gujarat and many more. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has not lost an election in Gujarat since 1995, has won a resounding mandate while sealing a seventh straight term in the state. BJP has already crossed the majority mark in 182-member assembly and is in line to win over 150 seats, a record tally in the state. This bests the Congress' record tally of 149 seats under Madhavsinh Solanki in 1985. In #HimachalPradesh, the Congress will come back to power after clinching a majority in the 68-seat house.
