(signal picture)
In Gujarat, Congress has put up posters-banners congratulating the ‘Gujarat Titans’ team, but instead of ‘Narendra Modi Stadium’, the posters have written ‘Sardar Patel Stadium’. A war of words has broken out between the leaders of both the parties regarding this.
Gujarat (Gujarat) Assembly elections are to be held at the end of this year, for which both the Congress and the BJP have tightened their backs. In such a situation, before the final of the Indian Premier League on 29 May in Ahmedabad, the Gujarat Congress Party had put up a poster near the gate of the stadium to congratulate Gujarat Titans for winning the tournament. At the same time, Congress had shown Narendra Modi Stadium as Sardar Patel Stadium. Whose name was its old name before changing in 2020. At the same time, in this case, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and the police got the billboard removed within hours, citing the mistake.
Actually, Indian Express report According to this, this was the latest dispute between the Congress and the BJP before the assembly elections of the state to be held at the end of this year. Where both the parties have come down on city walls across Gujarat to outdo each other. The matter started on March 13, when the BJP announced a campaign in the state to paint public walls with its party symbol lotus. At the same time, the next month, Congress workers responded by painting LPG cylinders and their prices next to lotuses in Ahmedabad, Jamnagar and Himmatnagar (in Sabarkantha district) in protest against inflation, engulfing the Modi government in the country. Where last week, the Congress has also put its “hand” sign next to the BJP symbol on public walls near Gandhi Ashram in Sabarmati, Shahibagh, Ellis Bridge and other areas in Ahmedabad.
City President said – people have better options in the assembly elections
According to media reports, Ahmedabad city Congress President Nirav Baxi told that about 6 months are left for the upcoming assembly elections and this is one of our election campaign initiatives. In which we have drawn hand signs right next to the lotus all over Ahmedabad. Since, to attract the attention of the people of the state to woo the people during the elections. At the same time, this message has to be given to the people that people have a better option to choose from this year. In the case of LPG cylinders, Baksi said that initially, we had pasted pamphlets of increasing rates of gas cylinders and petrol across the city. But BJP removed him.
BJP media coordinator said – Congress is deliberately spreading confusion among people
On the Billboard controversy, BJP’s media convener Yagnesh Dave said that Narendra Modi Stadium (large) comes under Sardar Patel Sports Enclave. In such a situation, 15 more stadiums are going to be built in the same enclave in the coming time. During this, he said that the Congress is deliberately spreading confusion among the people. Actually, the truth is that today the Congress has no issue left. In such a situation, she is adopting such tactics to make herself happy. Also said that it has no alternative to the popularity of BJP in Gujarat and elsewhere.
BJP seeks votes in the name of Sardar Patel: Manish Doshi
In this matter, Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) Manish Doshi said that we just wanted to congratulate the Gujarat Titans team and put up a billboard. We used to call the stadium by its real name, but look at the poor mentality of BJP that they ask for votes in the name of Sardar Patel. Still can’t put his name on the billboard. He said that he is still deeply saddened by the fact that Patel was the one who banned the RSS and he could never respect them. So, he used the corporation and the police to remove the poster.
