Ahmedabad, 14 October 2012

Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Gujarat BJP President Shri RC Faldu, national organizational secretary Shri V.Satish, national vice president Shri Parshottambhai Rupala, Gujarat BJP in-charge Shri Balbir Punj and more than 500 invited party members are participating in this meeting.
