Gandhinagar, 13 February 2014
Visavdar MLA Keshubhai Patel(86) today submitted his resignation before the Speaker of Gujarat assembly. Shri Patel had announced his decision to resign yesterday in a small meeting in Bhesan village which is a part of Visavdar constituency. Earlier in the day Gujarat BJP prabhari Om Mathur visited Shri Keshubhai’s residence to meet him. Following Keshubhai’s resignation, Visavdar will witness by-election with Lok Sabha general elections in April/May this year. Keshubhai’s son Bharat Patel who rejoined BJP early this year is likely to contest Visavdar by-poll on BJP ticket.

“Due to (old)age and physical inability I have not been able to actively give justice to my responsibilities as Visavdar MLA, therefore I accept moral responsibility and resign today.”
