Gandhinagar: Speaking to media persons in open truck during a road show on the last day of campaign for Ganhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC) elections today, the president of ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Gujarat, CR Patil said the party is employing its full strength to win all 44 seats of GMC.

‘I have full faith that the way there’s an atmosphere across entire Gandhinagar, the way the BJP has fulfilled all promises made in its manifesto in last five years of its rule in GMC and worked even beyond that, the BJP will achieve a grand victory with support of voters’, Patil said in reply to a question.

When asked how many seats, BJP is going to win in GMC election, Patil replied, ‘we are employing our full strength to win all 44 seats of GMC.’

When pointed out the past record of BJP in GMC elections, Patil said, ‘there was a time when BJP had only 2 seats in Lok Sabha across the country. Today Narendrabhai has come to power not once but twice with highest number of seats in the Centre. BJP is also a ruling party in Gujarat. More central and State fund would reach GMC smoothly if BJP is in power in GMC also. Then there shall be ease of rule. Gandhinagar people understand this and therefore BJP will have even better victory.’

He added, ‘BJP workers and candidates were in service of the people during pandemic. No candidate of Congress was seen helping the people. Congress is collapsing. The leaders like Amrinder Singh and Kapil Sibbal, who have been with Congress for last fifty years are distancing it.’

When asked about rival Aam Admi Party (AAP), Patil replied, ‘the third party (in fray in GMC election) has a record of losing highest number of deposits of its candidates. Such party with such record should not get even registration(by Election Commission). Its huge funding source should be probed into. This is a peaceful state. Once people would start understanding that which are the elements that are giving fund (to AAP for its Gujarat campaign), they will never stand by that party and reject it.’

He added, ‘the entire nation keeps trust in Narendra Modi’s leadership, don’t waste your vote for those who spread ashanti (disturbance). They come at election time with such a huge fund. People would identify, from where this fund come in attempt to spread ashanti (disturbance) in Gujarat.’

When asked about the recent change in Gujarat government, Patil replied, ‘thanks to leadership change made by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the people of Gujarat are very happy and they have welcomed this decision. New blood, new leadership will work for smallest problems of the people.’ DeshGujarat
