Gandhinagar: The detailed results of the 2024 Lok Sabha General Elections are out, and a glance at the assembly segment-wise results provides a clearer picture of what transpired at the ground level for all political parties in the fray in the state of Gujarat. In these polls, for the first time in 10 years, the Congress Party managed to win one Lok Sabha seat, Banaskantha. However, this does not necessarily mean that all assembly segments in the Banaskantha Lok Sabha seat favoured Congress.

If we analyse the data, out of the seven assembly segments that fall under the Banaskantha Lok Sabha seat, the BJP was ahead in four, while Congress led only in the Danta (ST), Palanpur, and Deodar assembly segments.
