As Gujarat votes in the second phase of the assembly election, the Newslaundry election team discusses whether the BJP is poised to return to power. They explore why voters want to put their faith back in a party that’s been in power in Gujarat for over 25 years, PM Modi’s connect with the state, and why price rise and inflation don’t affect his appeal to voters.

The team also discusses latest entrant AAP and its potential vote bank, how this is an election where the state will choose its main opposition party, and why the Congress’s campaign is so low-key.
