The AAP is eating into Congress votes. For the better part of the BJP in power in Gujarat PM Modi was the Chief Minister, hence why should we not be fronting Gujarat even now? As per the leads, we are doing well even in Himachal too. The media, which predicted a close contest, will be proven wrong. We fight hard for elections and we also celebrate big, so there will be celebrations in the evening.”
