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.

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