Around 10% of seats in Anand district have been won without contest by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as stated by Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi. This victory is attributed to a lack of opposition candidates and the enduring support of the public for the BJP. Sanghavi, while addressing public gatherings in Samarkha and Anklav, emphasized that this uncontested success signifies the absence of rival candidates and the consistent faith of the people in the BJP.
He criticized the Congress for its weak position in the state, noting that even in their strongholds, Congress leaders have failed to field candidates, indicating the party’s decline in Gujarat. Sanghavi paid tribute to former Umreth MLA Govind Parmar during the meetings, acknowledging his public service legacy and expressing regret over the absence of such leaders today.
The party has entrusted Harshad Parmar with continuing Govind Parmar’s work, urging for his victory by a significant margin to fulfill pending objectives and address public concerns. Sanghavi also highlighted the state government’s recent initiatives in various sectors such as electricity, water, roads, and infrastructure, emphasizing the BJP’s commitment to farmers’ welfare and youth development.
In response to criticisms of the state, Sanghavi defended Gujarat, stating that certain elements are solely focused on defaming the region. He expressed confidence that the discerning people of Gujarat will defeat those with an anti-Gujarat agenda in the elections. Earlier, Sanghavi engaged with prominent citizens at the Anand district BJP office to garner support for BJP candidates in the local self-government elections.
During the interaction, Sanghavi underscored the comprehensive work being carried out under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel in the state. He also discussed the BJP government’s efforts to boost the economy through sound financial management, urging strong backing to secure the party’s triumph in the upcoming elections.
