The BJP’s maths may also worsen by fielding candidates on Dalit-dominated seats. AIMIM spokesperson Danish Qureshi says that his party is preparing to contest on 30 seats dominated by Muslims, Dalits and Adivasis in Gujarat.

Last time in Gujarat elections, out of 13 reserved seats, 7 went to BJP’s account.

Danish Qureshi said that in the last Gujarat elections, out of 13 seats reserved for Scheduled Castes, BJP had won seven and Congress five. An independent won one seat. The coming of AIMIM in Jamalpur-Khadia, Surat East, Limbayat and Bapunagar seats of Ahmedabad can directly benefit the BJP.

People of Gujarat understand everything…!
