Vaghela to Counter Modi Fast


Gandhinagar, Sep 14 (IANS): Congress leader and former union minister Shankersinh Vaghela is to go on a three-day fast from Sep 17 to counter Chief Minister Narendra Modi's fast beginning on the same date, Congress sources said here Wednesday.

According to the sources, Vaghela will go on fast at the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad. He will be joined by Gujarat Congress chief Arjun Modvadia for the three days and the leader of opposition Shaktisinh Gohil symbolically for some time. A formal announcement of Vaghela's fast is expected Thursday.

Vaghela has decided to undertake the fast to "expose the duplicitious nature" of the Gujarat chief minister and the "pious platitudes he is mouthing after a propaganda mission that seeks to falsely make out that he has been given a clean chit by the Supreme Court in connection with the 2002 riots", the Congress source said.

"Modi has a habit of launching five-star fasts without any rhyme or reason to perpetrate lies as he has done earlier," Vaghela said, reacting to Modi's announcement of the three-day fast.

Modi Tuesday announced the launching of a 'Sadbhavana mission' to strengthen social harmony and brotherhood and resolved to fast for three days in Ahmedabad from Sep 17.

    ShankrerSinh Vaghela is a TRAITOR. He was HM in BJP's Keshubhai Patel's Ministry. The moment Keshubhai was elected CM he d WAR with Land Mafias who Grabbed 100's of acres in many major cities with the Partnership of Late Congress CM Chimanbhai Patel. Many of the Land Mafias left abroad to avoid arrest from many Cities and called ShankerSinh Vaghela to revolt against Keshubhai, price was fixed and within 2 weeks Keshubhai Patel's Ministry was down. ShankerSinh Vaghela works with Land Mafias and Criminals in Gujarat. Most of the Political Mafias not only Funded Elections but also helps to bring down Opp Govt. This type of Politicians are DANGEROUS and some times could be threat to National Security.
