Shankersinh Vaghela votes in Gandhinagar
Jan Vikalp leader Shankersinh Vaghela has cast his vote in Gandhinagar's Vasan village in the second phase of the Gujarat assembly elections 2017. In 1996, when he had walked out of the BJP, Mr Vaghela had floated the Rashtriya Janata Party. He later merged the party with the Congress. Two decades later, Mr Vaghela, angry at not being projected as presumptive chief minister of the party in the Gujarat assembly polls, led a revolt against the Congress in the run-up to the Rajya Sabha polls earlier this year.
