Ahead of his arrival at Sam Samvedana sammelan, Shankersinh visited MLA quarters in Gandhinagar and held meeting ith MLAs Raghavji Patel, Kaminiba Rathod and CK Raolji.

Meanwhile Gujarat NCP leader Jayant Patel (Boskey) said cross voting in Presidential poll was purposefully done to defame Shankersinh Vaghela. He said he would go to Shankersinh’s birthday bash. He said he had spoken to Shankersinh last night over a phone call. He said the relation between NCP and Shankersinh is old and meeting will be held with him in future.
