BJP has been in power in the state for almost two decades now, with the party winning the last three elections under the leadership of Narendra Modi as the then chief minister of the state.
The term of the current government under Vijay Rupani is set to expire in December this year, but a flurry of political activity in Gujarat is being seen as a sign that the party is trying to bring forward polls which are generally held after the extended Dussera-Diwali festive season.

Modi and his right-hand man, Amit Shah have in the last one month picked engagements in Gujarat quite meticulously. Shah has already held a round of meeting with state leaders, exhorting them to work to better the long held Madhav Singh Solanki-led Congress' record of 149 seats in 1985.
PM Modi took this message forward with his two day visit to the state.
Similarly, the Prime Minister's engagements on day-two of the Gujarat tour also clearly reflects an attempt to soothe ruffled feathers and reach out to constituents hit during the demonetisation drive.
