AHMEDABAD: While scripting a new record in Gujarat’s electoral politics by winning 156 of the total 182 seats of the state assembly, BJP also rewrote a few other election records. This was the first election since the state was formed in 1960 that 11 candidates — all from the incumbent BJP — registered victory margins of over one lakh votes. Earlier, the highest four candidates had won with margins of over one lakh votes in 2002.
In another record, 40 BJP candidates won election with win margins of between 50,000 and one lakh votes this time. The number of such candidates in the 2017 election was 21.
The highest victory margin was scored by caretaker CM Bhupendra Patel who won Ghatlodia seat, defeating Amee Yajnik by a margin of 1. 92 lakh votes. He was followed by Sandip Desai who defeated Prakash Contractor of AAP on the Choryasi seat by a margin of 1. 86 lakh votes. Harsh Sanghavi trounced P V Sarma of AAP on the Majura seat with a margin of 1. 17 lakh votes.
Not only does this record reflect a decisive mandate in favour of the BJP by the electorate, it also brings to the fore the failure of opposition parties to enthuse their supporters to vote in large numbers. The 2022 assembly poll was the first where no candidate lost by a margin of less than 500 votes.
The lowest victory margin in this election was 577 votes, where Bachubhai Arethiya of Congress lost to Virendrasinh Jadeja of the BJP. In the 2017, 2012 and 2007 assembly elections, two-three candidates lost by a margin of less than 500 votes. Only 16 seats were decided with a margin of less than 5,000 votes in this election. Their number was 36 in the 2012 and 2017 assembly polls and such seats numbered 48 in 2007 and 2002.
Another barometer of the 2022 poll being a conclusive mandate for the ruling party is that 40 candidates – all ofthem from the BJP – won their seats with victory margins ranging between 50,000 and 1 lakh votes. This is also the first time in Gujarat’s electoral politics that such a high number of candidates have won with such margins. In 2017, this number was 21, and in 2012 it was 17, which has been falling progressively in preceding assembly polls.
Political observer Vishnu Pandya said that this trend confirms that the BJP could galvanise its supporters to vote, while voters of other parties were lethargic. “PM Modi’s appeal to young voters to exercise their franchise keeping in mind the state’s future 25 yearsfrom now also seems to have worked in favour of the ruling party,” he said.
2022 was a clear mandate for the BJP. Despite a drop in voter turnout these trends show the BJP’s committed voters exercised their franchise in large numbers,” said state BJP spokesperson Yamal Vyas

To its detractors, love at first sight must be an illusion – the wrong term for what is simply infatuation, or a way to sugarcoat lust.
- Take a social media hiatus. According to a recent survey from Everyday Health, 60 to 70 percent of young adults say they check their social media platforms at least daily. Why not dial that back for the holidays?
- Stick to your new routine. It’s tempting to shake up your typical schedule when the holidays come around, but women’s health expert and BINTO founder Suzie Welsh emphasizes the importance of routine amid the revelry.
- Be intentional about fitness. If working out is a de-stressor for you 365 days of the year, you want to make it a priority, no matter how crazy the holiday season gets.
The truth, of course, is that these people have been lying to you all along.
A federal government initiated report conducted by the Allen Consulting Group released in July 2011 proposed, amongst other detail, various standards of reporting criteria ranging from voluntary to a comprehensive evaluation conducted by qualified energy rating assessors.

Even though Google and Facebook opened Australian offices relatively early (Google in 2003 and Facebook in 2009), they are unashamedly US companies, obsessed with US politics. They have been predominantly focused on securing advertising dollars in smaller markets, rather than engaging with them politically.
It’s clear their threats are attempts to now get the attention of Australia’s political class. And if the platforms follow through.
