Ahmedabad, 30 November 2012

Gujarat Congress President Shri Arjun Modhwadia today ridiculed Gujarat Chief Minister’s remark that Congress should announce Ahmed Patel as candidate for the post of Chief Minister in Gujarat. Shri Modhwadia said the politics of slaves of positions like Modi revolves only around the chair, but Ahmed Patel never ever claimed for any government position in past, and in future too he will not claim any position.
