Gandhinagar:

Gujarat BJP president Jeetu Vaghani today said that the party would officially declare its candidates for this year’s assembly election in the state after the announcement of the dates of the polls.

Talking to newsmen here Vaghani also said that it was certain that CM Vijay Rupani would contest from his seat Rajkot West while Deputy CM Nitin Patel would again be fielded from his Mahesana constituency.

He claimed that the defeat of Congress in the election was certain.

‘The party has not even a single capable leader. The leader less Congress has no power to contest the polls and its defeat was certain,’ he said to a query about the claims of its top leaders about winning 2/3rd seats with renewed vigour owing to win of its Rajyasabha candidate Ahmed Patel.

He also rejected the claims of Congress that many of the top BJP leaders were looking to change their seats to avoid defeat.

‘Congress which was a sinking ship and no leader should look at its own condition,’ he said.

Vaghani said that BJP would declare its candidates after declaration of the dates of election following due process.

Notably the term of the current 13 th Gujarat assembly was ending in December this year. The elections are likely to held in November-December.
