Gujarat Congress in crisis ahead of RS poll 6 MLAs quit party in 24 hrs
Ahead of a crucial election next month, the Congress has lost six lawmakers in Gujarat in the last 24 hours, a plan allegedly parented by former leader Shankersinh Vaghela, who\'s out to draw blood after he was told he would not be the party\'s Chief Ministerial candidate.
New Delhi: Ahead of a crucial election next month, the Congress has lost six lawmakers in Gujarat in the last 24 hours, a plan allegedly parented by former leader Shankersinh Vaghela, who's out to draw blood after he was told he would not be the party's Chief Ministerial candidate.
Three of the legislators who have quit have already joined the BJP. None will be eligible to vote in the Rajya Sabha election on August 8. But their deletion from the Congress' rolls jeopardises the career of Ahmed Patel, who is political secretary to the party's No 1, Sonia Gandhi.
Gujarat has three seats to decide for the Rajya Sabha in this election. BJP chief Amit Shah and Union minister Smriti Irani are placed to easily win. Patel, who has served four terms already in the Rajya Sabha, is getting pushed further away from the third.
