Padminiba Vala slams Kshatriya agitation coordination committee over double standards

Rajkot: Kshatriya agitation leader Padiminiba Vala who stayed on fast for over a week recently, today reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s “insulting” remarks against the community said, Rahul Gandhi should take his words back and apologize for his remarks.

Padminiba while speaking to a local media channel said the Kshatriya community is a giver, and it has not snatched away anyone’s land. She said such an insult will not be tolerated ever. She went on to say that if Rahul Gandhi says such a thing, why should the Kshatriya community vote for him? What’s the benefit in voting for Congress?

Attacking to Kshatriya agitation’s coordination committee for its double standards, Padminiba asked if the coordination committee is the ‘B’ team of Congress? Aren’t they behaving like a tool of Congress? There has to be an equal response to whoever insults the community. Is Rahul Gandhi allowed to speak anything? Those who are playing politics in the name of the Kshatriya community would not speak against Rahul Gandhi. Some Jaychands have misguided the community. These Jaychands have pushed the community two decades backward. If Rahul Gandhi speaks such things, why should Kshatriya community vote for him? What’s the benefit in voting for Congress? The coordination committee it appears is not fighting for Swabhiman but doing sheer politics. By bringing politics to the social fight, the Jaychands of the coordination committee have caused tremendous harm to the community. Our community has become laughable and looks misguided. We must respond to Rahul Gandhi’s remark.’

In another development, when a news channel reporter asked to respond to Rahul Gandhi’s “insulting” remarks against the community, Rajkot Congress Lok Sabha candidate Paresh Dhanani ran away. Video of this reportage has gone viral.

While speaking to a Gujarati daily, Rajput Karni Sena’s Gujarat chief Virbhadrasinh Jadeja said Rahul Gandhi’s video is old and he has not named Kshatriya community in his remark. However the fact is that the video is not old, and it is from Rahul’s day-old Bellari speech in Karnataka. Virbandrasinh’s argument that Rahul has not named Kshatriyas in his remark is also invalid, because even Parshottam Rupala had in his remark didn’t mention Kshatrkya or Rajput community’s name. He too had mentioned only Raja-Maharajas. Karni Sena’s vice president Dolubha Jadeja also took pro-Congress stand and said the video is old and edited, however the fact is that the video is from day-old Bellari public meeting video and even when it is seen in the full context, the point remains same.

By reacting strongly against the BJP leader’s remark but at the same time going soft against Rahul Gandhi’s remark, the coordination committee of Kshatriya community agitation has got exposed, and their political motives are now visible to the people, said Padminiba Vala.

Meanwhile, Bhavnagar Yuvraj from Royal Family, Jaiveersinh Gohil has slammed Rahul Gandhi over his remarks and expressed pity over Rahul Gandhi. Jayvirsinh said Rahul has done Satyanash of old (Congress) party. He said he wishes Goddess give Sadabuddhi to Rahul.
