Summary:
“We have organised various programmes near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s statue in Rajkot at 10:30am on Monday. Rupani has been nominated as the BJP candidate from Rajkot West constituency. Rupani and the other nominees will proceed for filing their nominations in the form of a procession after paying floral tributes to Sardar Patel’s statue and seeking his blessings. While Congress has not yet announced its list of candidates, it is widely expected that sitting MLA from Rajkot East, Indranil Rajguru, will be its nominee against Rupani from Rajkot West seat. Almost taking a cue from Narendra Modi’s Chai Pe Charcha campaign, the Congress MLA has launched ‘Coffee with Congress’ as a public outreach programme..
