Gujarat BJP to skip celebrations if they win after Rajkot fire tragedy

Owing to the tragedy of the TRP Game Zone in Rajkot ahead of election results on June 4, the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided not to celebrate if they win.

The dark weekend on May 25 saw a grave incident in one of Saurashtra’s most prominent cities, Rajkot, where a fire claimed 28 lives including children and adults.

In a virtual meeting held by the state BJP headquarters, the leaders and candidates on 25 Lok Sabha seats and five Assembly seats were ordered to skip celebrations on June 4, the result day.

They have been ordered not to distribute sweets and set out rallies with loudspeakers, burst firecrackers or hold any vijay yatras if they win any seat in Gujarat.

As the disheartening incident has taken place in the state, leaders of Rajkot and Gujarat have decided to skip the celebrations.
