Central Gujarat, once a Congress' fort, slipped from its hands gradually. However, Congress, has been trying to save its fort and pitch BJP's failure.  Post polarization in 2002, Central Gujarat had delivered one of the most stunning verdicts, 37 on 41 for the BJP.  In 2007, the BJP's sway over central Gujarat reduced substantially with the tempers cooling down. North and central Gujarat put together gave the BJP 56 seats in 2007. In 2012, BJP won 20 of the 38 seats up for grabs in central Gujarat and this time, it is banking on new inroads into tribal communities, which have more or less voted for Congress.  Alpesh Thakor factor: This time the fight for BJP, in Central Gujarat, is even more tough as OBC leader Alpesh Thakor has joined hands with Congress against BJP. He comes from Ahmedabad. He may pull OBC votes in favour of grand old party.
