Ahmedabad: After the trends and a clear indication that the BJP would retain Gujarat the Congress took down the clock that it had set for counting down the defeat of the saffron party.
The Congress had installed a clock that was supposed to countdown the end of the BJP’s reign in Gujarat just when the election in that state was announced.
The clock was supposed to display the time remaining of “parivartan” or the fall of the BJP in Gujarat.
