As voting ends in Gujarat, all eyes on exit polls
The sluggish voter turnout in the first few hours due to the winter chill gave way to visible enthusiasm as the day progressed in the second phase of the Gujarat assembly elections 2017, news agency IANS reported. Long queues of men and women were seen outside polling booths almost everywhere. But with the stakes high in Gujarat, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress were locked in a war of words after Prime Minister Narendra Modi voted in Ahmedabad and then went around the area, showing his inked finger with the voter mark. A furious Congress complained to the Election Commission that PM Modi held a roadshow in Ranip area for the Gujarat assembly polls.
