		Gujarat is vertically split, as the poet Nanalal says, 'into two wings, one blue, one green.' The western wing is blue and the eastern is green, with the se on the west and the forests on the east.

		The battle in Gujarat is not secular verses communal or Congress and BJP, it is now the 'legitimate rulers' verses those who are ruling Gujarat as Madan Lal Khurana charged in his letter to Lal Krishna Advani.
		Gujarat's Hindutva vision will not end with socalled BJP or Narendra Modi, it is much bigger issue and need an equally stronger remedy, otherwise, social unrest in Gujarat will continue as communities oppressed regularly will one day retaliate and then it would be too late to counter them.

		Under the chief ministership of Narendra Modi, Gujarat faced one of the worst riots and the state government was accused of sponsoring and cooperating with the rioters.
		It is well known that the BJP in Gujarat is sharply divided into two groups- one group loyal to Modi and the other one loyal to the former BJP chief minister Keshubhai Patel.
		Irony is that Gujarat has received one of the most preferential treatments from the central government - it is the country’s top recipient of central largesse in terms of loans and advances in per capita terms.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		In Gujarat, significantly, the BJP is going to polls without a pre-electoral arrangement with any other political party.
		An electoral victory in Gujarat would prove to the RSS that the “Hindus” of Gujarat have “avenged” the Godhra incident.
		If this experiment succeeds in the limited confines of the Gujarat state (it has already failed once at the national level after the demolition of the Babri Masjid), then it will be a message to the BJP leaders at the Centre — especially Atal Bihari Vajpayee — that they must change their political agenda.

		AS the electoral battle in Gujarat moves into the last lap of its long and drawn-out campaign, it is clear that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party enjoys a substantial lead at the starting point.

		All this might sound surprising and even shocking to those who read the news on Gujarat from outside the State, but would not surprise those who have followed the tenor of media coverage of the events of the last one year and the campaign itself.

		A defeat in Gujarat, the last of the BJP state bastions, could undermine its authority in the Central coalition and weaken the Hindu revivalist movement which has sought to win support by exploiting religious divisions.
