Media Coordinator to Vaghela, Nikhil Desai said that Bapu (Vaghela) had talked to the leader of opposition in Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) Chandrakant Srivastava alias Bhattubhai to file a complaint with the police in this regard.

Srivastava said that he had given a complaint to the police commissioner in which he has asked an impartial inquiry in to the matter which was intended to malign the image of the party as well as senior leader Vaghala. The hoardings which were still there at four places including Airport Circle, Railway station and Fetehganj were also meant to show that there was internal bickering in the party.

‘We have also found out the names of two persons, one of whom had provided the hoarding banner and the other erected it,’ he claimed.
