Gujarat Election: Prime Minister looking at the Gujarat Assembly Narendra Modi (Narendra Modi) will address four election rallies (BJP Rally) in the state on Sunday. PM Modi will first offer prayers at the famous Somnath temple. In such a situation, the question arises whether the BJP will be able to win back the Somnath fort?
Why is Somnath important?
In fact, Somnath is the place from where LK Advani took out the Rath Yatra in the 1990s. At the same time, this Rath Yatra had given LK Advani a different identity in the politics of the country. Along with this, the role of Somnath has been very important in forming the BJP government in Gujarat. On the other hand, if we talk about the 2007 elections, out of four assembly seats in Somnath, BJP won three seats.
At the same time, after this, BJP’s graph started falling continuously in Somnath, in 2012 elections, BJP won only one seat out of four seats. In 2017, the BJP had lost all the four seats in Somnath and the Congress had won all the four seats. Now it has to be seen how effective the Prime Minister’s message for Somnath will be today.
What do the figures say?
According to the 2011 census, about 8.5 percent of the population in this assembly constituency is scheduled caste and about 2 percent is scheduled tribe. The population of minority voters is more than 10 percent. For once in the electoral history of Somnath, a woman has also got a chance to represent in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly. That too Muslim. In the assembly elections of the year 1975, Sheikh Awasa Begum Saheb Mohammad Ali had defeated Bharatiya Jana Sangh’s candidate Hamir Singh Dodia.

Advani had chosen the famous Somnath temple on 25 September 1990 to start his famous Rath Yatra which established BJP in national politics. Before starting the yatra, Advani had worshiped in the Somnath temple itself and had taken a pledge to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya.
