Advani likely to contest Lok Sabha polls from Gandhinagar

September 19, 2018 00:05

Senior BJP leader LK Advani will contest from the Gandhinagar seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, claimed former Gujarat CM Shankersinh Vaghela post his meeting with the BJP leader.

"Yes, I met Advaniji. He told me he is going to contest the 2019 general election from the Gandhinagar seat. I have no qualms in meeting Rahul Gandhi or Sharad Pawar or anyone for that matter, said Vaghela.

However, on his part, Vaghela said he is yet to decide if he will contest the elections in 2019. He quit the Congress in July 2017.

Vaghela, who is also a former Union minister, said he will spend the next few months attempting to unite all anti-Bharatiya Janata Party forces before the general elections next year.
