DWARKA, APRIL 7

Amid members of the Rajput community staged protests all over Gujarat, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) marked its Foundation Day with the inauguration of a new office, Shri Dwarkesh Kamalam, in Devbhumi Dwarka in Gujarat.

The Foundation Day was celebrated with a flag-hoisting ceremony and a booth worker conference.

State BJP Chief CR Paatil lauded the BJP workers for their pivotal role in leveraging power to serve the public effectively.

He also acknowledged the substantial contribution of Gujarati workers to the party’s monumental status and outlined the party’s achievements under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, emphasising the uplift of 25 crore people from poverty in the last decade.

BJP MP Poonamben Madam also praised the collective efforts of the BJP workers and PM Modi’s leadership in establishing the BJP as a global political titan.

Members of the Rajput community staged protests during a meeting held by Gujarat BJP Chief CR Paatil in Khambhalia. Their demand echoed that of the Kshatriya community—to withdraw Parshottam Rupala’s candidature following his derogatory remarks about Rajputs and princely families.

The turmoil stems from remarks made by Union Minister Parshottam Rupala, which have deeply offended both the Kshatriya and Rajput communities. Rupala’s comments have ignited a firestorm of resentment, prompting widespread condemnation and calls for accountability within political circles.

As tensions continue to mount, the Gujarat police find themselves at the center of a delicate situation, tasked with maintaining law and order amidst escalating protests and growing dissatisfaction among various communities. The detention of Mahipal Makrana may turn the situation volatile during the current political landscape in Gujarat, where sentiments run high and demands for justice resonate loudly.
