The Bharatiya Janata Party won a super majority of 156 seats, the most ever won by any party in Gujarat's history. The Indian National Congress fell to its lowest count in the state for 3 decades, and the Aam Aadmi Party gained five seats.

Backgroundedit

The tenure of 14th Gujarat Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 18 February 2022.[2] The previous assembly elections were held in December 2017. After the election, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed the state government, with Vijay Rupani becoming Chief Minister.[3]

Vijay Rupani resigned from Chief Minister post on 11 September 2021[4] and he was succeeded by Bhupendra Patel as the new Chief Minister.[5]

Since the last assembly elections, several bypolls were held, most of which were won by the BJP, taking their strength from 99 to 112 seats.[6]

Local body electionsedit

BJP swept the 2021 Gujarat local body elections by winning all corporation and district panchayats and Indian National Congress (Congress) gained majority in one municipality and 18 taluka panchayats.[7] On one side BJP increased its strength and on the other side Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) made significant inroads to be considered as a contender in the state.[8][9]

In 2017 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election, BJP lost in some districts of Saurashtra region due to farmer and Patidar agitation; notably in Amreli and Gir Somnath where it lost all seats to Congress.[10] However, when panchayat elections were held in Amreli along with other districts, BJP gained a two-thirds majority translating to a lead on all five assembly segments of Amreli, while AAP gaining in rural Gujarat indicated that Gujarat is heading towards a three-cornered contest.[11][12]

In the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation elections, BJP got a majority by winning 41 out of 44 wards while Congress got two seats. AAP won one seat and was the third largest party in terms of vote share, which indicated increasing acceptance of AAP as a third alternative.[13] Congress dubbed the AAP as a 'B team' of the BJP for by dividing the anti-BJP votes, which ultimately favoured the BJP.[14]

Scheduleedit

The election schedule was announced by the Election Commission of India on 3 November 2022.[15]

Issuesedit

Alcoholedit

Following the death of 50 people in 2022 Gujarat toxic liquor deaths, alcohol and drug consumption became an issue in the election.[73] Congress demanded a probe by the sitting high court judge in the illegal liquor trade in Gujarat.[74] Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi publicly asked which "ruling forces" are "giving protection to these mafia".[75] AAP state president Gopal Italia had demanded an investigation by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the incident.[76]

Drugsedit

In September 2021, 2,988.22 kilograms (6,587.9 lb) of heroin was seized from two containers which arrived at Mundra Port, from Bandar Abbas in Iran. Heroin was disguised as a consignment of semi-processed talc stones originating from Afghanistan.[77] The incident occurred again in May[78][79] and July 2022,[80] where 52 kg and 75 kg of drugs were seized from the port respectively. Notably, the Mundra Port was owned by Narendra Modi's ally[81] Gautam Adani, founder of the Adani Group.[82]

The Congress criticized the BJP-led government over their silence right after the September 2021 drug bust[83] and urged the Supreme Court to open a probe, alleging that a drug syndicate was operating from the port. It was also concerned that the drugs were sourced from Afghanistan, saying the illegal sale of these drugs might be used against India by terrorists.[84] In May, when drugs were again seized at the Mundra Port,[79] Congress again criticized the government asking why drugs were repeatedly found in the coastline of Gujarat.[78]

AAP also registered their protest on the issue of drug seizure.[85]

Gujarat ATS after seized 350 kg heroin drugs said that since Gujarat being on coast has become a preferred route for drug smuggling, the State and federal agencies have seized drug cargos upon landing.[86]

Corruptionedit

The written examination for recruitment of head clerks was held on 12 December 2021 in which with 88,000 aspirants had appeared for 186 vacancies. The exam was conducted by Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB). INC alleged that Asit Vora, a BJP leader served as the chairman of GSSSB is mastermind behind this.[87] A total of 36 people from Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Sabarkantha were arrested in the case, including alleged mastermind Tushar Mer.[88]

AAP had alleged that before the examination, the question paper was leaked and sold at cost of Rs 8-12 lakh. Later on Gujarat government annulled the exam and announced re-examination scheduled for March 2022.[89] 500 supporters of AAP staged a protest outside BJP, Gandhinagar Office demanding the removal of BJP leader Asit Vora from the post of chairman of the GSSSB. BJP workers clashed with AAP protestors and the police resorted to lathicharge. BJP leader filed police case against AAP. Ninety-three AAP members were arrested including 28 women. AAP president Italia, AAP women's wing and youth wing presidents were among those arrested. Italia and other AAP leaders spent 10 days in prison before getting bail.[89]

AAP highlighted the rampant corruption leading to paper leaks for the examinations conducted by the state government being reported since 2015. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal compared it with the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh and called recruitment exams in Gujarat as Maha Vyapam Scam (great Vyapam Scam). AAP promised to create laws that would punish the paper leaking offence with ten years of punishment.[90]

Congress slammed the government over the paper leaks for the recruitment examinations.[91] They also held a mock assembly in Gandhinagar, highlighting the plight of thousands of job-seekers who had taken the now-cancelled head clerk recruitment exam. All Congress MLAs and party leaders took part in the mock assembly. Leader of the Opposition and senior Congress leader Sukhram Rathwa urged the Gujarat government to conduct a judicial inquiry through a sitting HC judge on the series of exam paper leaks, saying it amounts to cheating the youth of Gujarat. He also alleged that the RSS and the BJP were behind the paper leaks.[92] and Congress MLAs protested against the paper leaks in the assembly, standing from their seats and displaying posters in connection with the leak, causing the assembly to be adjourned for 15 minutes.[93] The Congress also staged a protest at Koba, Gandhinagar demanding Asit Vora to resign.[94]

Agricultureedit

In March, thousands of farmers across Gujarat were protesting at their taluka and district headquarters demanding adequate power supply to save standing crops.[95]

As per a survey conducted by ABP News, unemployment was the biggest issue for people in Gujarat.[96] Unemployment had been steadily increasing in the state.[97] As per the quarterly bulletin of the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), Gujarat had among the lowest rates of unemployment in urban areas.[98] As per Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) estimates - April–June 2022 bulletin, unemployment rate in Gujarat was 3.3%, lesser than the national average.[99]

There were four lakh unemployed people registered with the state's Employment Exchange Department in March 2021, out of which 3,85,506 were literate and just five percent were semi-skilled.[97] According to state budget figures released in March 2022, there are 3,46,436 educated and 17,816 semi-literate unemployed youth in Gujarat that have been registered with various employment exchanges and the government of Gujarat was able to give jobs to only 0.35% of unemployed youth over the last 2 years.[100][101]

It was the second lowest amount of class V students able to read English compared to the rural areas of all the other states.[103][104]

According to government statistics, Gujarat had a high annual dropout rate of 24% in secondary classes (grade 9-10) compared to other states.[105]

Price Riseedit

In April, the Congress held protests in several cities throughout Gujarat against rising fuel prices and inflation. In Amraiwadi, Congress workers brought empty LPG cylinders and a hard paper cutout of a fuel dispenser during their protest against fuel and cooking gas prices. They also held protests in several other cities where they burnt effigies, held protest sit-ins and even clashed with the police. Around a dozen Congress workers were then detained by the police for burning effigies and protesting without permission.[106] On 16 May, Congress workers again held a protest against price rise in Rajkot,[107] led by Rajkot city president Arjun Khatariya. This led to 30 Congress workers being detained by the police, including Khatariya.[108]
