While joining the BJP, Gandhinagar Mayor Mahendrasinh Rana today said that he was hurt as Congress led central government didn’t give JNNURM scheme to Gandhinagar.
Speaking to media persons at Gujarat BJP headquarter in Ahmedabad today Rana said, “One year ago I even met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and made representation about covering Gandhinagar into JNNURM scheme. But nothing positive happened in this regard.”
Gujarat BJP spokesperson IK Jadeja added, “Earlier the Congress led UPA denied JNNURM to Gandhinagar because it was not Municipal Corporation area.
