2014 Indian general election in Gujarat
The 2014 Indian general election, held from April 7 to May 12, was a significant political event that included the state of Gujarat as a key battleground. The election, conducted to fill 543 seats in the Lok Sabha, witnessed a renewed focus on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which was led by Narendra Modi, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat. Modi's tenure was marked by aggressive economic policies and infrastructure development, which bolstered his national appeal. The BJP aimed to secure a majority in the Lok Sabha, leveraging its strong base in Gujarat, where the party won all 26 Lok Sabha seats. The election marked a shift in India's political landscape, leading to the BJP forming the government at the center with a historic majority.
