In 1962, BJP’s precursor BJS won only 1. 3% of the votes in Gujarat to Congress’s 50. 8%. By 1995, BJP’s vote share had crossed 40% and has remained in the high-40s since 2002. 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. Congress’s stint from 1960 to 1990 was interspersed with brief periods of President’s Rule and Janata Party governments. BJP has more or less held the reins since 1995.
