“Modi neither listens to me, nor he kicks me out from the organization, however I would continue to be in BJP and would fight for justice through non-violent methods,” said Gujarat BJP’s MLA of Mahuva in Saurashtra Dr. Kanubhai Kalsariya to a local newspaper on Tuesday.

Kanubhai said this in reference to an agitation led by him in his constituency to protest state government’s decision to transfer village land to Nirma company’s proposed Cement plant.

According to Kanubhai and local villagers, the government has transferred 222 hector land of Samadhiyala village to Nirma company without taking local people into consideration. The land is actually meant for a water body.

Dr. Kanubhai, a popular MLA of BJP is nowadays active with his team in collecting 11,111 blood filled signatures of local villagers on a memorandum to protest the land transfer. Daily, hundreds of Villagers of Padhiyarka and surrounding villages actually puncture their left hand’s thumb using sterilized needle and sign the memorandum with blood against the land transfer. The memorandum will be submitted to Chief Minister Narendra Modi anytime after 15th February.
