In Dahod district politics, the Congress party has clear edge over others. The Congress has bagged 4 MLA seats out of total 6 Assembly Constituencies in 2007 elections in Dahod district. The Congress ally NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) has won from Devgadhbaria Constituency. The BJP has managed to secure Randhikpur Constituency. The ruling BJP candidate Jasvantsinh Sumanbhai Bhabhor has defeated Baria Punabhai Jesinghbhai of the Congress in that elections. Maharau Tusharsinh Kanaksinh of the NCP defeated Patel Vijaykumar Pratapsinh of the BJP in 2007 contest. There may not be any change in the Congress’s dominance in the district in 2012 elections as well. The things may only go out of ‘hands’ if the Congress fails miserably on cashing in on the usual anti – incumbency factor. See MLA winners and runners of 2007 elections here:
