Riding on the aspiration of making the son of the soil - Narendra Modi - the prime minister, it seems Gujarat has favourably voted for BJP as the party is leading in all 26 seats in the state.

Early trends show BJP is leading in all the seats, but there is some fight on two seats with Congress candidates.

BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has so far got 4,32,446 votes and is leading by over three lakh votes against his nearest Congress rival Madhusudan Mistry, who has polled 1,30,937 votes, in Vadodara.
