AAP's Gujarat Chief Minister Pick Isudan Gadhvi's "Campaigning" Dig At PM

Mr Gadhvi is a registered voter in the Ghatlodia Assembly constituency, from where incumbent Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel is contesting.

Aam Aadmi Party's Gujarat Chief Ministerial candidate Isudan Gadhvi today took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the polling booth to cast his vote in the second phase of Gujarat Assembly polls, dubbed by the Opposition as a 'road show' that flouts rules, saying campaigning doesn't solve people's problems.

When asked by NDTV for his comment on the allegations of the PM flouting Election Commission rules, he said, "Campaigning doesn't reduce education fee hikes, doesn't help check rising prices, or solve the issue of paper leaks."

Congress has slammed the Election Commission, accusing it of looking away while the PM "made an event" out of his visit to the polling station. It said the PM exploited the opportunity to flout rules that prevent any campaigning during polling.

Mr Gadhvi is a registered voter in the Ghatlodia Assembly constituency, from where incumbent Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel is contesting. Mr Gadhvi himself is contesting from the Khambhalia seat.
