Keshubhai likely to announce third front in first week of August

Other BJP dissenters who have associated themselves with the third front will also remain present in the meeting. Most likely,Keshubhai will lead the MahaGujarat Janata Party (MJP) as a third front against BJP and Congress in the Assembly elections that are likely to take place in December this year.

The final decision on the leadership would be taken at the public rally in August,Zadaphia said.

However,he further said,“MJP has already its base. If Keshubhai joins the party he will be offered to lead it. I won’t mind (giving my party to him),because my state is more important than me and my party.”

While date and venue for at least six such mass gatherings have been finalised,except one such rally which will be organised in north Gujarat. The first mass gathering — Pariwartan Lokjagriti Abhiyan — will be organised at Bhavnagar on July 10. This will be followed by meetings at Junagadh on July 15,Rajkot on July 19,Jamnagar on July 20 and Surat on July 24.

The rally will be organised by the MJP workers. Disgruntled workers from both Congress and BJP are expected to join the rally.

“We will convince people that we are here to offer pro-people governance and grassroot development. We (MJP) are not putting our banner at the gatherings,even though we have used our strength and resources in organising it,” Zadaphia said.

Recently,CM Modi-baiters including former union minister Kashiram Rana,former Gujarat CM Suresh Patel,MJP president Gordhan Zadaphia,and former minister Nalin Bhatt among others,met Keshubhai Patel at his Gandhinagar residence where he indicated he would lead the third front against Modi.
