Ahmedabad: Adding to its victory cheer, the BJP's top state leadership in Gujarat won their seats, while the Congress saw many of its top state leaders bite the dust. BJP's Chief Minister Vijay Rupani retained his Rajkot (West) seat against Congress' Indranil Rajyaguru -- the richest candidate in the fray -- by a little over 21,000 votes. Rupani got 52,155 votes, while Rajyaguru got 29,938 votes. Current Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala won from this seat seven times earlier.
