While the whole media except a handful of journalists is under the spell of Modi’s magic it is important to register the fact that e.g. In Gandhinagar though 81864 people voted for BJP and they won the seat, there are 78116 people who voted against BJP and Modi.
Not everyone is under his spell in Gujarat. He has won the seats and will have the whole administration in his hand to stifle any dissent but the struggle against the undemocratic, fascist regime will continue. In 33 constituencies, Congress lost by a small margin. Here is breakdown.
