Summary:
Vadodara, from where PM Narendra Modi was elected in 2014 elections, is seen as one of the sure-shot seats for BJP. The BJP fielded industrialist Mitesh Patel from Anand, after dropping MP Dilip Patel. The Congress party, which aims to reverse its fortunes in Gujarat and is targeting to win 6-9 Lok Sabha seats in the state, faces an uphill task in central Gujarat. Meanwhile, BJP is also expected to win the Kheda seat, where it has again fielded Devusinh Chauhan as its candidate. The one seat in central Gujarat where Congress appears to be on a firm-footing is Anand, where it has fielded former union minister Bharatsinh Solanki..
