Amit Shah got the ticket from Ellisbridge at this time Rakesh Shah didn’t get ticket and BJP showed them exit doors from this assembly elections. 69 MLAs got ticket again means No Repeat Theory didnt work in these candidates. BJP has given ticket to Dr. Darshita Shah from Rajkot – west but at the same time congress leader Indranil Rajyaguru may get ticket from the same seat so, if he gets the entry from the Rajkot -west seat, it may be win-win situation for Congress.

Where as Kiritsinh Rana got ticket from Limbdi and Vinu Moradia got ticket from Katargam seat of Surat.
