Vadodra mayor Keyur Rokadia, however, claimed that the town development officer had tendered his resignation not due to pressure from the BJP but due to his ill health.
State energy minister Saurabh Patel
VADODARA: State energy minister Saurabh Patel and former minister Dilip Sanghani sprung a surprise on Friday by arriving in the city for the election rally in ward 10 of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC). Even the local unit of the BJP was caught unaware regarding the visit.
Sources in the party said that Patel and Sanghani had come for the rally that traversed throughout ward 10 as they were close to former BJP corporator Nitin Donga, who was awarded a ticket again. It is believed that they may also have played a key role in ensuring Donga was repeated on the seat.
