52-year-old Dhirubhai Chhaganbhai Patel, BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate on Valsad seat in Gujarat is an expert doctor in treating Snake bite patients.
Dhirubhai, based in south Gujarat’s tribal dominated Dharampur village with his modern hospital facility is an expert in treating Snake bite patients since last 17 years.
“Since 1994, we have treated more than 6000 patients in our Dharampur hospital and we can proudly say that only 36 mortality occurred,” says Dhirubhai.
Dhirubhai is M.S. (Gen.Surgery). He started his career as a government doctor in Selvas hospital. Due to tribal dominated forest area, proportion of patients suffering from snakebite was very high. Later when Dhirubhai worked in Public Health Centre in south Gujarat, he observed same trend there too.
In late 80s, Dhirubhai decided to spend his life treating snake bite patients. In 1990, he started his own 40 bed hospital in Dharampur. His wife helped him working as a hospital administrator. The hospital now serves not only as a snake bite curing centre but other medical facilities are also available.
Dhirubhai is so passionate about his snake bite treatment service, that he has come out with a website dedicated to this activity. (In photo:Dhirubhai Patel and his wife Rashmiben with python)
Dhirubhai was associated with the BJP as a common party worker for a long time. He is the younger brother of former minister KC Patel, but he never fought even a village panchayat election in past. This is his first election, but in whichever village he enters, his ex-snake bite patients overwhelmingly join him to provide their help in canvassing.
His rival candidate, sitting Congress MP Kishanbhai Patel organizes a ‘tamasha’ (traditional tribal play) that highlights the work he has done as MP in the last five years.

Just see the humility of this gentleman. No where on his website is he trying to canvass for votes! This is only to be expected from a BJP material. They are more interested in working professionally and doing good for the country, and the only reason they should be voted to power, is so that the government does not become a obstacle to their sincere noble efforts like the present goondaraj Kangress.
In the past the goondaraj Kangress used to give ticket to habitual criminals and history sheeters for this seat, and they used to win by large scale liqor distribution and terrorising the masses. But, now I really appreciate BJP for proving that they are indeed a party with a difference. ALL the eligibile voters should go and VOTE for doing their part to resolve issues confronting them.
I am especially very sincerely thankful to BJP (Rupalaji), and NaMo in particular for handpicking such finest candidates. Even for vidhan sabhaa, Sh.NaMo selected a young engineer and a woman for representing this constituency. Who can say that ours is backward/ST seat?
Mahatma Modi vijay ho!
