It’s Jayantibhai Kalaria vs Vijay Rupani on Rajkot West seat


New Delhi, 25 September 2014

Jayantibhai Kalaria will file nomination as Congress candidate on Rajkot West seat on second day of Navratri on September 26.

Jayantibhai eyes Kadva Patidar and Muslim votes to win the election against main rival and BJP candidate Vijay Rupani.

71-year-old Jayantibhai has been MLA and minister during 1980s.

Congress hopes to cut BJP’s margin on this traditionally pro-BJP seat through caste-based voting.

In another development, BJP candidate Vijay Rupani filed nomination form today in presence of all major BJP leaders and large number of party workers.
