Post 2002, neither has the Congress vote share dipped below 38%, going up to 41. 4% in 2017. BJP and Congress have run Gujarat for about equal lengths of time.

The number has consistently declined since 1980, when 12 Muslims were returned to the assembly after the Congress party deployed its KHAM (Kshatriya, Harijan, Adivasi, Muslim) social engineering formula.

Ahmedabad : Gujarat has sent just one Muslim representative to the assembly, from 230 Muslim candidates in the fray from 73 seats.
The number has consistently declined since 1980, when 12 Muslims were returned to the assembly after the Congress party deployed its KHAM (Kshatriya, Harijan, Adivasi, Muslim) social engineering formula. Voters had returned three Muslims — Mohammed Javed Pirzada, Gyasuddin Shaikh and Imran Khedawala — on Congress ticket in the last election. This time the party fielded six Muslims but only Khedawala waded through the challenge put up by BJP and AIMIM.
Two other Congress MLAs who were seeking re-election failed. Shaikh from Dariapur, which has a 46% Muslim vote share, lost to BJP’s Kaushik Jain. The other Muslim MLA from Congress who lost this time is Mohammad Javed Pirzada of Wankaner in Morbi district. The Pirzada family has dominated this seat for two generations.
All three Muslim candidates fielded by Aam Aadmi Party lost. BSP fielded the most Muslim candidates, but none won.
