1995 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election

The 1995 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election was conducted in two phases on December 5 and December 12, 1995, as part of the Indian political process. This election was pivotal as it followed the controversial 1990 election results and aimed to establish a stable government in the western Indian state of Gujarat. The key political parties contesting included the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Indian National Congress (INC), and Janata Dal, among others. The BJP, under the leadership of Keshubhai Patel, emerged victorious, securing a significant majority and marking a decisive shift in the state's political landscape. The election was notable for its impact on subsequent political developments in Gujarat and the broader implications for the BJP's rise in Indian politics during the 1990s.
