    At Amit Shah's nomination from Gandhinagar, NDA shows strength

    What's the story

    BJP President Amit Shah filed his nomination from Gandhinagar in Gujarat on Saturday after NDA showed its strength in a massive rally.

    BJP's top leaders like Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Piyush Goyal, and allies Uddhav Thackeray (Shiv Sena), Ram Vilas Paswan (LJP), and Parkash Singh Badal (Akali Dal), shared the stage. Shah also held roadshow later.

    Here's what happened at the high-profile event.

    Constituency

    Shah got the constituency which Advani represented for decades

    Gandhinagar, one of the safest seats for BJP, has sent LK Advani to the Parliament since 1991. He won from there six times.

    But this time the BJP veteran was replaced by Shah, who is a Rajya Sabha MP. This is the first time Shah will be contesting Lok Sabha polls.

    Apparently, party workers wanted someone of national importance to be fielded from Gandhinagar.

    Statement

    Will honor Advani's legacy, said Shah

    Addressing the large public gathering, Shah said he will work towards taking Advani's legacy forward.

    He said he was "blessed" to be given the opportunity to contest from Gandhinagar which elected stalwarts like Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

    Shah said the ensuing polls are about choosing a leader and claimed everyone from Himachal to Kanyakumari and from Kamrup to Gandhinagar chanted "Modi, Modi, Modi".

    Support

    Have never stabbed from back, said Thackeray

    At the rally, Thackeray claimed there is no Opposition in the game. He also said people must be surprised to see him at BJP rally.

    "My father taught me to do everything from the heart, issues that we raised were of the people, we (BJP-Shiv Sena) had differences but we settled them. We never stabbed from back & never will," Thackeray added.

    Gadkari flaunted Centre's achievements, asked people to vote for BJP

    Gadkari asked people to vote for BJP in large numbers and ensure that the party gets a second term in 2019.

    "What previous governments could not do in 50 years, Modi government did in last five years," Gadkari said.

    Notably, a video from Shah's event, where his granddaughter can be seen rejecting BJP's hat, has surfaced on social media.
