The '''7th Gujarat Legislative Assembly election''' was held in 1985.<ref>{{cite news|date=1985|title=Gujarat Assembly elections on year 1985|work=The Hindu Business Line|url=https://eci.gov.in/files/file/3834-gujarat-1985/|access-date=20 December 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=1985|title=Gujarat Assembly elections on year 1985 results in short overview|work=The Hindu Business Line|url=https://www.elections.in/gujarat/assembly-constituencies/1985-election-results.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=1985|title=BJP in Gujrat, before BJP, Congress wins one sided|work=The Hindu Business Line|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/interactives/gujarat-assembly-election-results-history/}}</ref> The incumbent [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) obtained majority with an increase in the vote share and number of seats which was a record in terms of number of seats. INC won 149 seats out of total 182 seats. [[Janata Party]] (JP) won only 14 seats, showcasing dominance of INC at that time. But, in 1985, Gujarat faced riots in the cities of [[Ahmedabad]] and Gandhinagar due to reservation bill.
