The Bharatiya Janata Party has scripted a spectacular victory in Gujarat, improving even on its 2002 election performance under Narendra Modi, who has since gone on to be the prime minister.

Newslaundry editors Atul Chaurasia and Manisha Pande and reporters Ayush Tiwari, Basant Kumar and Shivnarayan Rajpurohit analyse the results.
