A significant loss to Gujarat Congress as party Vice President Girish Parmar joins BJP (Video)

Ahmedabad, 28 November 2012

This is really interesting.

Gujarat Congress’s core person and former Labour minister Girish Parmar who knows many internal things of the party today joined BJP.

Girish Parmar was Vice President of Gujarat Congress. He had resigned last week from his post protesting his party’s decision to field Shailesh Parmar on Ahmedabad’s Danilimda assembly seat.

Today morning Girish Parmar announced his decision to resign from the party itself.

Along with Girish Parmar, Gujarat Congress spokesperson Shri Jayantilal Parmar and other party office bearers had also submitted their resignations, protesting the selection of Danilimda candidate.

Girish Parmar today joined BJP in presence of Gujarat BJP Vice President Shri Kaushik Patel and others.

This is truly a loss for Gujarat Congress, as Girish Parmar was considered an experienced and sound party worker.

Those who joined the BJP with him are:

Samuben Nadiya – former Municipal Councillor and Chairperson

Vinodbhai Parmar – General Secretary, Ahmedabad Congress

Kanubhai Thakor – General Secretary – OBC cell of Congress

Bhavik Parmar – General Secretary of Youth Congress

Kamlaben Rathod – State Secretary, Women’s cell of Congress

Dineshbhai Chavda – Secretary, Ahmedabad Congress
