    Mahendrasinh Vaghela, son of ex-Gujarat CM Shankarsinh Vaghela, joins BJP

    Former Gujarat CM Shankarsinh Vaghela's son Mahendrasinh, a two-time Congress MLA, has joined BJP today. Mahendrasinh joining the BJP has come as a second blow to the opposition party in less than two weeks and ahead of the 2019 elections. On July 3, senior leader Kunwarji Bavaliya had quit Congress and joined BJP in Gujarat. He was also immediately made a Cabinet Minister.

    Mahendrasinh attacks Congress soon after joining BJP

    Soon after joining the BJP, Mahendrasinh attacked Congress President Rahul Gandhi, saying that given his style of working, a revival of the country's oldest party does not look possible in the near future. Mahendrasinh was elected to the Gujarat Assembly on a Congress ticket for two consecutive terms from Bayad in North Gujarat: 2007 to 2012, and 2012 to 2017.
