Geniben Thakor jokes with Minister Swarupji Thakor in Bhabhar says thank me for vacating the seat

In a moment that surprised many and quickly gained traction on social media, Congress MP Geniben Thakor made a light-hearted remark during a felicitation ceremony for newly appointed Gujarat Minister Swarupji Thakor in Bhabhar.

Geniben, despite being a prominent political rival, attended the event and welcomed the new minister personally. During the exchange, she was seen jokingly telling him, “You should thank me, I vacated the seat, and now you are a minister.”

The video of the interaction has gone viral, sparking discussions across political circles in North Gujarat. Many have praised the show of mutual respect between leaders of rival parties.

Svarupji Thakor, known for his youthful image and grounded personality, was recently appointed minister, replacing Alpesh Thakor. His appointment is seen as the BJP’s strategic move to maintain influence among Thakor community voters in the Banaskantha region, especially ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Geniben Thakor, currently the only Congress MP from Gujarat to win a Lok Sabha seat, holds significant sway in the region. Her presence at the BJP minister’s event and her cordial interaction has surprised both party workers and the public.
