Gujarat's twelfth legislative election was held in 2007. In this election, the BJP led by Narendra Modi won 117 seats out of 182 (ten seats fewer than in 2002). Congress improved its performance and won 59 seats (eight more than last election). Modi fought elections in Maninagar and won with a major majority.[1][2] NCP won three seats, JDU won only one seat and independent candidates won only two seats. This was a turning point of Modi in politics.
