Will the BJP be able to stop Patidar Factor in Saurashtra by Koli, Ahir and other OBC votes?

The question of credit for Modi-Shah in Gujarat elections
BJP, worried about Patidar, OBC and Dalit movement in Gujarat, has fielded party president Amit Shah from the prestigious Gandhinagar seat.

BJP's performance in Saurashtra region was weak due to the Patidar movement. Here the BJP's main contest is with the Congress.

Considering the possibility of 'if and so', both the parties have decided the candidates in line with caste equations.

Apart from Patidar in Saurashtra, Koli, Ahir and Rajput voters play a decisive role, while the seat of Kutch is dominated by Muslims.

In the last Lok Sabha election, BJP won 26 of 26 seats in all 26 seats. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah's 'Home State' are the 'question of prestige' for the party this time.

In the politics of Saurashtra, Koli and Patidar have been dominating the society for the past three decades.

Saurashtra University head of Sociology Bhavan, Dr. Haresh Zala says:

"Apart from being a large number of political leaders such as Patidar, Koli and Aher, the political awareness of these societies is also there."

"There are 39% caste voters in Surendranagar seat of Saurashtra, and no party can ignore such a large number of votes in the same area."

"That is why both the parties have to give ticket to the candidate only."

Dr. Zala has researched the place, contribution and domination of these castes in Saurashtra society life and has made a caste based statistical analysis of the seats covered under this area.
