There have been instances when our army men belonging to the state martyred, but Gujarat Congress leaders didn’t visit their homes.

But interestingly, a whole top lot of Gujarat Congress leaders on Wednesday visited the house of a youth who died while running during the recruitment drive of ‘Lok Rakshak Dal’ in Amreli this week. Not only that the top state Congress leaders visited late youth’s house, but they also gave a cheque of Rs 1 lakh also to his relatives.

Now please know the geography and timing of this visit.

Late youth Arvind was from Ishwarpura village and he was from Chaudhary community.

Ishwarpura is located in Mansa taluka where assembly by-election is scheduled to take place on 18th of next month. Late Arvind was from Chaudhary community which has a strength of 15,000 voters.

So when Chaudhary’s dead body was cremated, no political leader was present. But then the election was declared. And then took place the visit of Congress leaders to his house.

Those visiting Arvind’s house were Gujarat Congress President Arjun Modhwadia, leader of opposition Shri Shaktisinh Gohil, campaign committee head Shri Shankersinh Vaghela, district Congress leader CJ Chavda among others.

The leaders reportedly informed the family of Arvind that they had sent a letter to the government seeking release of Rs five lakh relief to Arvind’s family.

Late Arvind died while running five kilometers in the recruitment drive of Lok Rakshak Dal.
