The BJP rebels in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh lost their elections but had a difference in their impact. In Gujarat, the rebels could not impact the party negatively, but they spoiled the BJP’s party in Himachal Pradesh playing the role of vote-cutters. Politician, actor and producer Madhu Shrivastav and the Waghodia MLA since 1995, lost the poll badly. He had issued an open threat to the BJP after being denied ticket. Similarly, Kuldeepsinh Raulji lost from Savli.
