TIL Desk/National/Gandhinagar/ A galaxy of top leaders, including Union ministers Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari and leaders of BJP’s allies such as Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, Shiromani Akali Dal supremo Parkash Singh Badal and Lok Janshakti Party founder Ram Vilas Paswan shared stage with BJP chief Amit Shah as he gets ready to file his nomination papers from Gandhinagar for the Lok Sabha election.
The presence of the top BJP-led NDA brass at the event is being seen by observers as a show of support for Shah and an acknowledgement of him being the second most powerful leader in the alliance after Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Shah is replacing BJP veteran L K Advani, who had been winning uninterrupted from Gandhinagar since 1998, from the prestigious constituency.
All
these leaders are also accompanying Shah in a road-show in Ahmedabad, before
filing of the nomination. Shah, who was elected to the Rajya Sabha from
Gujarat, has been nominated by the BJP for the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha seat. Last
date for filing nominations is April 4. Polling
for all the 26 seats of Gujarat will take place on April 23.
