Protests against Rupala continue in parts of Gujarat

In Sathod village in Vadodara district’s Dabhoi Taluka, posters barring entry of BJP leaders until Rupala’s candidature was withdrawn also came up on Monday.

At an event of the Rajasthan Kshatriya community in Khatamba, as part of the election campaign of independent candidate Ravindra Singh Bhati of Barmer Lok Sabha constituency in Rajasthan, Rupala’s comment and the community agitation was discussed. Bhati, interacting with mediapersons, said, “I am here to request the non-resident Rajasthanis to come to Barmer and vote in the upcoming polls… I am aware of the agitation going on in Gujarat. In election campaigns, politicians should refrain from making comments against communities that can hurt sentiments. It is unfortunate that such a comment has been made against a community.”
