The Bharatiya Janata Party declared its first list of 70 candidates for the Gujarat Assembly elections on Friday, with State Chief Minister Vijay Rupani being nominated to contest from Rajkot West constituency.
Six of the 14 Congress MLAs who had defected to the saffron party in August have been given tickets to contest from their constituencies.

Contrary to speculation, both the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) members, Varun Patel and Reshma Patel, have not been included in the first list of candidates.

It remains to be seen how the opposition Congress party reacts to it and how it challenges it before the Election Commission of India (ECI) and in the judiciary regarding the anti-defection law.
