Rajkot: An interesting electoral battle is on the cards in the Rajkot Municipal Corporation’s (RMC) ward number two, which falls under chief minister Vijay Rupani’s assembly constituency.
The imposition of Disturbed Areas Act a few days before the announcement of election date is expected to be one of the major factors in this ward, which is a mix of Rajkot city’s posh areas and has a significant population of minority community too.
Last year, BJP had chosen Muslim candidate Sofia Dal to contest from this ward, but this time the party has give tickets to the panel led by former deputy mayor Dr Darshita Shah. Dal had won in the 2015 polls.
