Out of the total 15 seats of the Sangh, 10 seats had already been declared uncontested, while the result of the real battle held in the remaining 5 seats has been declared today.

Opposition Congress slams Congress

The open disrespect of the BJP's mandate has given the Congress an opportunity to attack the state. State Congress president Amit Chavda said that the BJP has turned the cooperative structure into an arena of politics. The BJP's internal gang war has been exposed under the pretext of the mandate in the cooperative sector, which will be seen on the streets in the coming days. On the other hand, Congress leader Lalit Vasoya, referring to the IFFCO elections, said that even at that time, Jayesh Radadiya had fought and won against the BJP's mandate but his hair was not crooked. He claimed that the BJP organisation no longer has enough strength to take strict disciplinary action against anyone who disobeys the mandate
