    • However, there were speculations that AAP may spring some surprise due to its rigorous campaigning aimed at the incumbent BJP.
    • The BJP, AAP, and Congress were fighting it out in Himachal and Gujarat, and civic body polls in Delhi.
    • BJP has an edge in Gujarat and Himachal, and AAP in Delhi.

    Some prominent faces were in fray in second phase

    On Monday, voting was held in the second phase for 93 assembly seats in 14 districts in central Gujarat, including Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Gandhinagar. Among the notable contestants in this round were Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Patidar leader Hardik Patel, OBC politician Alpesh Thakor, former minister Shankar Chaudhary, and Jignesh Mevani.
