Congress candidate for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s prior Assembly constituency — Maninagar created embarrassment for his party’s senior leaders as he termed Modi as his ‘Guru’. After filing his nomination for Maninagar constituency in Ahmedabad, Jatin Kella commented that the contest might be difficult but, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is like my ‘Guru’. “Modi is much elder than me. It was god’s wish that I have to contest from his traditional seat,” said Kella. 38-year-old Kella came to deputy collector’s office with large number of supporters to file nomination.
Maninagar constituency was vacated by Narendra Modi, after he became the Prime Minister in May. The Congress candidate is contesting against BJP’s Suresh Patel, who is councilor. There are 228 booths in the important constituency and nearly 2.43 lakh voters will decide the fate of these candidates on September 13th.
