BJP's Kshatriya leaders urge community to forgive Parshottam Rupala, vote for party in nation's interest
Kshatriya leaders associated with the BJP in Gujarat on Sunday appealed to the community to forgive Union minister Parshottam Rupala for his remarks and vote for the saffron party in the nation's interest. Rupala is the BJP candidate from Rajkot Lok Sabha constituency. Barring Surat, where the party nominee has won unopposed, the other 25 seats in the state will go to polls in the third phase on May 7.
Kshatriyas, also known as Rajputs, have been protesting in different parts of Gujarat over Rupala's alleged derogatory remarks about former rulers, urging people to vote against BJP candidates across the state.
With just two days left for polling, BJP's Kshatriya leaders on Sunday issued a joint statement appealing to the community to show a big heart and embrace the Sanskrit verse «kshama virasya bhushanam» (forgiveness is the ornament of the brave).
«Even BJP's Kshatriya leaders and workers were hurt by Rupala's remarks. In view of that, Rupala has apologised more than once. He has also urged the community not to punish Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his mistakes,» said the statement.
