Speaking at the convention, Rajendra Singh Rana said: “The comment made by him (Rupala), praising one community over another has deeply wounded the sentiments of our community, sparking anger. Now, we are protesting.”He said for generations, the Rajput community has safeguarded the nation’s cultural heritage, and it will continue to do so in the future.“The community is on the brink of agitation today… All of us will embrace the decisions made by our coordinating committee,” said Rana.Despite many efforts by the ruling party, protests against Purushottam Rupala persisted on Wednesday. Bhupendra Sinh Chudasma, a senior BJP leader and former minister, told the media following the Kshatriya Community Coordination Committee meeting on Wednesday that the community was adamant about accepting no resolution rather than withdrawing Rupala’s candidacy.”On Tuesday, Kshatriya community members, led by women, gathered at the Vadodara District Collectors’ office to hand over a memorandum against the statements made by the Union Minister during his campaign in Rajkot. Carrying banners, the protesters chanted slogans and demanded that Rupala be pulled out of the Lok Sabha race.In Bharuch, too, the protesters who chanted slogans against the BJP and demanded that Rupala’s candidature be withdrawn, also clashed with the police after the cops foiled their attempt to burn an effigy.
