BJP wins 7 seats, SP 2 in UP by-polls: Muslims vote en masse for BJP in Kundarki
As expected, the BJP clinched 7 of the 9 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday where by-elections were held on November 20.
A day after Patidar leader from north Gujarat Narendra Patel alleged that the BJP tried to buy him, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Monday took on the ruling party, saying Gujarat is priceless and can never be bought.
“Gujarat is priceless. It has never been bought. It can never be bought. It will never be bought,” Gandhi said in a tweet.
Narendra Patel had alleged that Patidar leader Varun Patel, who joined the BJP on Saturday evening, took him to meet Gujarat BJP President Jitubhai Vaghani and other leaders on Sunday, who offered him Rs 1 crore to join the BJP.
