Vasava is the incumbent president of the IRC's Executive Council which is the apex body of Highway Engineers in the country. It falls under the Union Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. (Express Photo) As he spoke recently at an event on making a career in politics, Rajkot Mayor Pradip Dav tried hard to fight back tears. He recounted that he couldn’t make time for his son’s birthday last month.
Dav said that his son had expressed a wish to go out to have pizza. Even as he had promised, later a public meeting as part of the BJP’s outreach drive on the completion of nine years of the Narendra Modi government was fixed in Rajkot on the same day (on June 23). The Mayor could return home only in the night and his son had already fallen asleep.
