New Delhi: The 2017 Gujarat assembly elections saw a high-voltage campaign in which the Congress and the BJP got engaged in a bitter war of words.
The BJP ran an aggressive campaign with many senior leaders including BJP National President Amit Shah, Union Minister Arun Jaitley and Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking votes for the party.
The Congress also tried to gain ground in the state, which is being ruled by the BJP for the last 22 years, by partnering with the Patidar group led by Hardik Patel. The Patel community, which was traditionally loyal to BJP, has been agitating for reservation in education and government jobs.
The assembly election, in effect, turned into a prestige battle for the BJP and Congress, with campaigning turning into memorable rounds of electioneering replete with drama, barbs and controversy.
Here's a look at some of the fiercest attacks during the election campaign.
