Expect landslide victory for BJP in Gujarat, says Arun Jaitley
As the first phase of the Gujarat assembly election 2017 ended, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley credited the Election Commission for conducting a peaceful election. "First phase of polling has ended. We are extremely grateful to EC, the officials and voters for peaceful and successful completion of voting. I'm sure, as per the reports that are coming, that BJP is going to register a landslide victory," Arun Jaitley told news agency ANI.
"BJP estimates that we will not only get a comfortable but a landslide win. In most places people of all sections have supported the BJP. Early reports are encouraging for us. BJP has got great support in this phase," Arun Jaitley told reporters. "There were no big incidents during the election; some places had problems with the EVMs but that's normal in an election of this scale. They were rectified later."
