Vadodara: In 2014, citizens witnessed one of the crucial lively Lok Sabha campaigns ever right here after Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to contest from Vadodara seat. Both Congress and BJP brought in senior party leaders as well as superstar campaigners, who addressed voters or took out rallies in different spaces. However, 2019 Lok Sabha ballot campaign has been a complete contradiction.
Not many senior leaders or superstar campaigners became as much as campaign from the 2 parties right here. The campaign kicked off just about a month in the past, however barring a couple of identified party leaders, the city infrequently saw any crowd-puller canvassing for both parties within the fray. “In 2014, Vadodara seat was below focus as the Prime Minister candidate was contesting from right here. So our senior leaders and superstar campaigners had been roped in. This time, we didn’t have much giant faces,” Shailesh Amin, ballot agent of Congress candidate, Prashant Patel said.
While senior Congress chief Siddharth Patel had addressed people some days in the past, on Saturday actor Shatrughan Sinha got here in to campaign for the party. “On Sunday, actress Amisha Patel did a rally too. We had deliberate to arrange Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s rally, however his time table were given changed,” Amin informed TOI.
BJP too controlled to herald Maharashtra leader minister Devendra Fadnavis, who held a public meeting with the exception of defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Vadodara has been a BJP bastion since 1998 as the party has never misplaced any Lok Sabha ballot from right here in closing 20 years. In 2014, Modi won from Vadodara seat with a margin of over 5.70 lakh votes, which is the second very best margin ever in Lok Sabha ballot.
Ranjan Bhatt, who was a new face, beat Congress candidate Narendra Ravat by over 3 lakh votes within the bypoll after Modi vacated the seat. Poll observers imagine that each the parties know the consequences and therefore no longer much efforts are being made to herald superstar campaigners right here.
