In a massive show of strength, more than one lakh people of Rajput community gathered in Rajkot to demand the immediate withdrawal of candidature of Union Minister Parshottam Rupala as the BJP candidate from Rajkot.
This was second rally by the Kshatriya community in Rajkot against Mr. Rupala, whose remarks about former princely families’ relationship with the British and establishing marital relations with them have riled the descendants of the families in Gujarat.
On Sunday, the community leaders vowed to intensify the protests and hold another mammoth rally in Ahmedabad after April 19 if the nomination of Mr. Rupala wasn’t withdrawn.
