In politics it is said that there is no permanent foe or friend. The case of Gujarat Parivartan Party (GPP) and its leaders is only backing the age-old saying. Amid all the speculations, finally GPP is set to merge with the Bhartiya Janata Party, most probably on February 20 in the presence of BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Confirming the development, current president of GPP, Gordhan Zadaphia said that the party workers have passed a resolution and given him authority to take decision on the merger with the most suitable political party.
Talking to The Pioneer, Zadaphia indicated that the GPP leadership including him are from RSS background and they would like to join the party having 'Similar Ideology'. According to Zadaphia, though he parted from BJP and established his own Maha Gujarat Janata Party (MJP), its ideology was based on the thoughts of Dindayal Upadhyay and Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.
"When Keshubhai decided to form new political outfit, I supported him and allowed MJP to merge with GPP in 2012 ahead of the assembly polls based on ideological similarity," said Zadaphia.
