The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) posted a record-breaking tally of 156 out of the 182 seats in the Gujarat Assembly elections, winning a seventh consecutive term in the state. However, it suffered a defeat in Himachal Pradesh, though it was behind the Congress by only about 1 per cent in the vote share, according to the election results announced on Thursday.
The Congress posted its worst tally in Gujarat, notching up just 17 seats with a vote share of around 27 per cent, down from 41.4 per cent in 2017.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won five seats in Gujarat
