Senior BJP leader Amit Shah campaigned in Gujarat on Saturday. He addressed election rallies in Chhota Udepur and Vansda. He said reservation is the constitutional right of SCs, STs and OBCs and will remain intact as long as BJP is in power. Mr. Shah said BJP is committed to the development of all classes of society in the country. He slammed the Congress party for misleading the tribals and spreading misinformation regarding reservation system. Mr Shah also campaigned in Daman and Diu on Saturday.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra addressed a rally at Banaskantha in the state today. She reiterated the party’s commitment to the welfare of farmers and labourers of the country. Ms Vadra said, if the Congress party comes to power, it will set up a permanent commission to ensure minimum support price to the farmers. She said that Congress has always been a people-centric party. She added that Bharat Jodo yatra was nothing but a medium to listen to the problems of the poor and downtrodden. Priyanka also held a meeting at Davangere in Karnataka today. She charged that demonetisation and GST have broken the back of small industries and traders. On the other hand, she said the five guarantees given by the Congress Government in Karnataka have held the hands of the poor.
