BJP expresses confidence in Patidar community

The BJP got success in most of the 45 seats in the state where it had expressed confidence in the candidates of the Patidar community. The BJP also played a masterstroke by announcing Bhupendra Patel's name for the post of Chief Minister even before the elections. The party got its full benefit. By the way, the Patidar community has been an old supporter of the BJP. In 2017, the BJP suffered losses due to the effect of the Patidar movement, but now everything is back to normal.
