Bypoll: Post Modi, Congress sees ray of hope in Maninagar

September 11, 2014 10:39

With just two days to go for the by-elections in Gujarat, all eyes are set on the contest, especially in the prestigious Maninagar Assembly seat vacated by Narendra Modi after becoming Prime Minister. Both the ruling BJP and Opposition Congress have left no stone unturned to woo the voters, for the bypolls to one Lok Sabha and nine Assembly seats to be held on September 13.

Maninagar is a traditional bastion of BJP since late 90s, but it came into limelight after Modi contested from there in 2002 and won.

Riding on 'development' wave, he won subsequent Assembly elections of 2007 and 2012 from the seat.
