Ahmedabad, Sep 8 (IANS) After the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) declared Kalpesh Patel as the party’s Vejalpur (Ahmedabad city) electorate applicant, his old photographs supposedly showing him consuming alcohol and celebrating with companions surfaced on Thursday.
His political adversaries have taken advantage of the chance to focus on the AAP and its up-and-comer.
Sending off a blistering assault on the AAP, Gujarat BJP representative Rutvij Patel has scrutinized the AAP, saying whether the last’s convenor Arvind Kejriwal will lift alcohol disallowance in Gujarat.
Patel claimed, “One AAP up-and-comer is found in a photo partaking in an alcohol party, one more party competitor is confronting charges of being engaged with a Rs 300 crore trick. Its one chief is hostile to Gujarat and had misdirected ancestral local area against the Narmada project. AAP pioneers and their party has faith in twofold principles. Individuals of Gujarat won’t ever decide in favor of such applicants and party.”
Protecting Kalpesh Patel, AAP representative Yogesh Jadvani said, “Could anybody at any point demonstrate that Kalpesh was tipsy in Gujarat, the mingling may be out of Gujarat or even out of country, forbiddance is in Gujarat, not outside.”
Pummeling the BJP, the AAP representative said that the BJP stands uncovered in the wellbeing, training and framework area so it isn’t keen on examining center issues. It is focusing on political rivals and competitors on private matters to censure them.
