Ahmedabad, 27 November 2012
The Congress leadership has successfully resolved the revolt against party’s decision on selection of candidate in Junagadh.
Congress party had selected former MLA Bhikhabhai Joshi as party’s candidate in Junagadh.
Protesting against this decision, 22 Councillors had submitted resignations.
Not only this, but Deputy Mayor Girish Kotecha had filed nomination form to fight the poll as an independent candidate.
However due to timely intervention by central leader Ashok Tanwar, Girish Kotecha has today withdrawn his nomination form. Also a group of 22 Councillors who support Kotecha have withdrawn their resignations.
Tomorrow is the last day of withdrawal of nominations, and Congress leaders are neck-deep busy in efforts to ensure that most of the rebellion withdraw their nominations.
