A meeting was held between BJP leaders and Kshatriya community representatives today, at around 2.30 p.m., at Rajput Samaj Bhavan in Ahmedabad’s Gota.

Despite the prolonged efforts of the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) to extend the olive branch and put an end to the chaos, the meeting did not yield any positive outcome for both sides.

“We offered an apology on behalf of the party, but they unanimously took a stand to not accept our apology,” said former BJP minister Bhupendra Chudasama in his presser reportedly.

“They wanted us to cancel Parshottam Rupala’s ticket. They said that if the ticket is not cancelled, they will file an independent candidate.”

“No negotiations were possible with the Kshatriya community, and no other meeting will take place,” added Chudasama.

Kshtriya community’s core committee including PT Jadeja, Triptiba Raol, Narendrasinh Sisodia, Karansinh Rajput, Padminiba Vala, Jayrajsinh Parmar, Hakubha Jadeja were present in the meeting.

Followed by Padminiba Vala’s hunger strike, she was immediately called at the meeting in Ahmedabad.

Apart from Chudsama, BJP leaders Balwantsinh Rajput, Pradipsinh Jadeja, Kesridevsinh Jhala, Kiritsinh Rana and Indravijaysinh Jadeja engaged with Kshatriya leaders at the meeting.

“Either party save Rupala, or the respect of the Kshatriyas,” said Karansinh reportedly .

He also added that the Kshtriya community has given an ultimatum to BJP to take down Rupala’s candidature till 5 p.m. on Apr 4.
