The hot-hub of Hindutva for more than 7 years, Gujarat yet again goes on election mode and with that Modi's fate too hangs in balance. Gujarat and Modi have been inseperable through thick and thin. Though hated for his failure at handling Godhra, still his tactics cannot be faulted as he in less than 3 years made Gujarat, a economic powerhouse!
The state is voting for 182 assembly constituencies in 2007. With a total of 1268 candidates in the fray, the state will vote in two phases. Maninagar is one hot-house as Narendra Modi will be fighting from there.
