Anand city is one of the seven assembly constituencies in Anand district, five of which were won by the Congress in 2017. There are 3,13,857 voters in Anand constituency, of which 1,59,122 are male, 1,54,730 are female and five are transgender. Kshatriya is the dominant caste in this region.
Sodaparmar said, before 2017, I used to lose thrice by a very small margin. But after becoming an MLA, I worked for the people. This time I will win by a margin of 25000 votes. He alleged that the BJP government has given nothing to the people except inflation, unemployment and corruption.
Will win all seats: Congress
Senior Congress leader Bharat Singh Solanki said that his party is trying to minimize the possible damage caused by AAP. He said that the Congress is hopeful of winning all the seven seats in Anand district. He said, we had lost Umreth and Khambat in 2017. This time we have given Umreth and Khambat seats to NCP… Local BJP leaders claimed that the party lost Anand district seats last time due to the Patidar quota agitation, but this time it is not an issue.
BJP leaders are also claiming victory
A local BJP leader said, “We have identified the reasons for our defeat and taken corrective steps.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a big rally in Vidyanagar even before the election dates were announced and Yogesh Patel was accompanied by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel when he went to file his nomination papers. This shows how seriously the BJP takes Anand.
Yogesh Patel said that the performance of the party was affected in 2017 due to the social movement but the situation is different in 2022. He said, the development schemes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and their predecessors have reached every household. Voters feel that there is no alternative to BJP. People say that if there is inflation, their income has also increased, so it is not an issue. He said that since 2017, the BJP has won 36 out of 52 seats in Anand municipality, seven in 11 taluka panchayats in rural areas and both in district The panchayats are with the BJP.
