With state elections due in just over a year from now, the raging protests are snowballing into a major worry for the state government.

Dalits account for seven per cent of Gujarat's population but they could dent the BJP vote if coupled with the Patidar community who account for 17 per cent of the electorate and have challenged the state over their demand for reservation in government jobs and schools.

Also with a larger Dalit electorate in Punjab - which will also host elections next year - the protests in Gujarat could spell trouble for the BJP which rules the state in alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal or SAD.
