‘Vijay Rupani won’t be CM after two months’

AHMEDABAD:

Gujarat

Congress in-charge Rajiv Satav on Tuesday said that chief minister Vijay Rupani of the BJP will not remain in his post after two months, drawing a sharp rebuke from the latter as the hustings hotted up for the

Lok Sabha

election in the state.

Reacting to Satav’s remark, Rupani said that Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s politics will be over in the next two month, seeking to imply that the Congress would lose the Lok Sabha poll, counting for which will be held on May 23. Satav was talking to reporters at the airport.

When contacted, Rupani said, "Is Satav joining the BJP and coming to our party to take a decision to remove me? He is daydreaming."

Rupani went on to say: "The Congress tried to spread such rumours before 2017 state assembly election. Even after our win, the opposition party did not stop spreading such rumours,"

Rupani spoke to reporters in Sutrapada town in Gir-Somnath district. agencies
