The AAP's hopes in Gujarat have been boosted by its success in the February 2021 Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) elections, in which the BJP won 93 seats, the AAP 27 seats, and the Congress drew a blank.
Meanwhile, in the 2017 Assembly elections, the Congress gave the ruling BJP a scare by limiting its MLAs to 99 and won 77 seats on its own. Gujarat has a total of 182 assembly seats.
Notably, the party has been working hard to oust the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Gujarat.
