Gandhinagar: Amid the ongoing ‘internal bickering’ in Gujarat Congress, Senior BJP leader and Gujarat DyCM Nitin Patel today claimed that the main opposition party in Gujarat would see a major divide and breaking away of several leaders before the coming Loksabha polls.

Talking to newsmen he said that seemingly Congress in Gujarat was being run not as a party but like groups and factions.

‘Recently several annoyed leaders of the party including MLAs, MPs and even a former union Minister participated in a meeting at the residence of a senior congress leader,’ he said in a reference to the meeting held at former GPCC president Arjun Modhwadiya’s residence.

He claimed that there would be a major divide in the party and several of its leaders including MLAs would leave the party before the LS polls.
