Assembly elections are due in Gujarat at the end of the year and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has started its mission there. BJP’s Rajkot city unit launched a campaign to paint its election symbol lotus on the walls, now public offices and parks in the city are also being painted with lotus flowers. At the same time, Aam Aadmi Party objected to this campaign of BJP.
BJP’s Rajkot city unit president Kamlesh Mirani started the campaign by painting a lotus picture at the entrance of the party office in Karampara on Monday. The state-wide campaign was launched by BJP state president CR Patil on March 13 from Ahmedabad and Surat, where he and other leaders painted the party’s slogan on public walls.
