Former Congress heavyweight Shankersinh Vagela is keeping political parties in poll-bound Gujarat guessing about his future political course, days after he resigned as the Congress MlA in presence of senior BJP leaders.
Maintaining suspense over his future political move, the veteran politician on Sunday ruled out floating any outfit or forming third front.
Vaghela had already clarified that he was not going back to the BJP which he had quit in 1990s.Interestingly, none of the 13 former Congress MlAs, believed to be the loyalists of Vaghela, was present at the meeting of his supporters held at his residence in Gandhinagar today. At the meeting, Vaghela's supporters passed a resolution urging him to "become active in order to ease the pains of people of Gujarat who are facing many problems at present".The resolution, which was shared with the media, was passed by around 250 supporters of the Kshatriya strongman at the meeting.
As per the resolution, the issues like price-rise, high electricity charges, unemployment, and costly education have affected the common man in Gujarat the most.Vaghela's supporters claimed that various sections of the society, including businessmen, farmers, students and women, are having a feeling that they were left to fend for themselves.and there is no one to hold their hand.Through the resolution, supporters urged Vaghela (77) to "become active" in order to put an end to such problems.
After the meeting, Vaghela insisted that the gathering was not political.
