Congress supporters from the Jamalpur-Khadia and Vatva seats in Ahmedabad city demonstrated against their leadership and vandalised the party’s headquarters on Monday because they were dissatisfied with the choice of candidates for the upcoming elections.

Workers from the predominantly minority Jamalpur-Khadia demonstrated against the issuance of tickets to incumbent MLA Imran Khedawala, who will be competing against Sabir Kabliwala, president of AIMIM Gujarat, and Bhushan Bhatt of the BJP. According to the protesters, Khedawala was affiliated with the local real estate lobby and will this time lose the election.

The angry workers spray-painted anti-Congress leader Bharatsinh Solanki slogans on the building’s walls and accused him of selling tickets to Khedawala. They chanted anti-Congress slogans, vandalised the nameplates of former Congress presidents, including Solanki’s, and demanded a ticket for Shahnawaz Sheikh from Jamalpur-Khadia. They also set his posters on fire.

Khedawala defeated BJP candidate Bhatt in the 2017 elections by garnering 58 percent of the vote. In contrast, Bhatt won in 2012 when Kabliwala ran as an independent by defeating the Congress candidate.
