He said a committee of his supporters has organized the meet. He said he would invite all opposition MLAs including those from JDU and NCP to this meet.

“Our supporters, mainly from my constituency Kapadvanj have formed a committee to celebrate my birthday on July 21. They have named the function as Sam Samvedana Samarambh. It will be held at Mahatma Mandir at 1.30 pm in Mahatma Mandir. I will give my message to the people of Gujarat as the leader of opposition. All opposition MLAs including those from NCP and JDU are to be invited by me personally in writing. Media persons are invited with family to this function to have meal. I am not going to reveal that message now. It will be delievered only on that day at around 2.00 pm when I will reach there,” Shankersinh said.

“This is not show of strength. My supporters were complaining that I never called them after becoming leader of opposition. So this gathering has been called,” he said in reply to a question.

He said the message he would deliver will be for good of Gujarat.

When asked whether state party president Bharatsinh Solanki will be invited to this function, Vaghela said Besnu(prayer meeting post death) and Birthday don’t need invitation. He also said all MLAs of opposition parties are to be invited(Bharatsinh is not MLA).

He said he will reply all questions including the issues raised in the last meeting with his supporters and his subsequent meeting with Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

Vaghela repeatedly refused to reveal what he is going to say on July 21.
