Internal rift in Gujarat BJP comes out wide open

Former minister Jayesh Radadiya a Jetpur BJP MLA defeated Bipin Patel, alias Bipin Gota, the coordinator of the party's cooperative cell and vice-chairman of Gujarat State Cooperative Marketing Federation Limited (Gujcomasol)in the election.

Narayan Kachdia -- a threetime MP from Amerli -- raised concerns regarding the party's candidate selection process and the incorporation of Congress and AAP members into the BJP. Despite the state BJP chief CR Paatil endorsing Gota - a close aide of Amit Shah - as the party's candidate, Radadia defied the party mandate by submitting his candidacy and securing a third term.

Amit Shah's visit to his residence did not deter Radadia from withdrawing his nomination against Gota.
