Gujarat
Chief
Minister
Narendra
Modi's
'magic',
which
defeated
all
adversaries
from
media
to
Keshubhai
to
''merchants
of
death''
title
given
by
the
Congress
with
the
BJP's
emphatic
win
in
the
state
Assembly
polls,
failed
to
work
at
'Ground
Zero
of
Godhra'.
The
party
failed
to
retain
its
seat
in
Godhra
constituency,
which
is
considered
as
'Ground
Zero
of
Godhra
riots'.
The constituency, which had laid a foundation for the rise of 'Modi Era' in Gujarat in the 2002 Assembly Polls, was this time won by Congress candidate C K Raulji who secured 61,886 votes defeating BJP candidate Prabhatsinh Chauhan by a huge margin of 14,501 votes. The minority-dominated Godhra constituency had given thumping victory to BJP candidate in the last assembly election as large number of majority community voters had turned out to exercise their franchise due to strong Hindutva wave created by Mr Modi during the post-Godhra time.
In 2002, BJP candidate Bhatt Hareshkumar Induprasad had got 68501 votes against the then Congress candidate Patel Rajendrasinh Balvantsinh, who secured 55855 votes to win by 12646 votes.
