Ahmedabad: Congress MLAs Alpesh Thakor and Dhavalsinh Zala resigned from the Gujarat Assembly, apparently after voting against the party candidates in the Rajya Sabha bypoll Friday.
Voting for the bypolls to the two Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat began at the Assembly complex in Gandhinagar this morning.
While the BJP has fielded External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and OBC leader Juglaji Thakor, the Congress has nominated Chandrika Chudasama and Gaurav Pandya.
“I have cast my vote for honest national leadership that wants to take the country to new heights. I cast vote as per my inner voice,” Thakor said after quitting the Assembly.
“I got nothing other than mental stress being in Congress. I am free from that burden,” the OBC leader said.
