the Gujarat poll result suggests the Congress has been able to spring a surprise on the BJP in Unjha
constituency that includes Prime Minister Narendra Modi's hometown of Vadnagar.
Congress' Asha Patel is the new lawmaker from this constituency in Mehsana district, about 100 km
from Ahmedabad.
The 40-year-old Congress candidate has defeated, by a wide margin, sitting BJP lawmaker Narayanbhai
Lalludas Patel, 74, who hadn't lost an election from this BJP bastion in more than two decades.
With 81,797 votes, Asha Patel had a lead of nearly 19,000 over her BJP rival who polled 62,268 votes,
according to the poll body's Gujarat poll result. Mr Narayanbhai Lalludas Patel's vote share in the
Gujarat polls result was less than what he had secured in the 2012 assembly elections.
