The BJP has clinched 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in Gujarat, including the Surat seat which it had won unopposed, but missed a hat-trick of a clean sweep with the Congress bagging Banaskantha constituency, a first victory in the general elections in the western state in the last ten years.
Prominent candidates to win elections include Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, and their Cabinet colleague Parshottam Rupala.
