Raghavji Mungara (Patel), 58 has two criminal cases under Prevention of Damages of Public Property Act and Gohel Bholabhai, 42 has no criminal case
The two revolt Congress MLAs, Bhola Gohel, 42, of Jasdan and Raghavji Patel, 58, of Jamnagar provincial whose votes were negated by the Election Commission ascended from the positions of the Congress. Patel, who is a Leuva Patidar, begun as a taluka unit president in Dhrol in 1978 while Gohil's first decision was from the Jasdan taluka panchayat in 2000. They were among the seven revolt MLAs including Shankersinh Vaghela, who voted against the Congress. Gohel who has a place with the Koli people group, holds a Bachelor's degree in country ponders, is third of four siblings and has a place with Bandhali town in Jasdan. He has been in communicado since Vaghela quit the Congress.
Around a month prior, Gohel reported that he would not challenge the up and coming Assembly decision and that he would be cheerful to see his coach, Koli strongman and ex-Congress MP Kunwarji Bavaliya make a rebound. In any case, Bavaliya and Congress did not read much into it. Be that as it may, after Vaghela's abdication activating gossipy tidbits about more MLAs stopping to join BJP, 10 Congress MLAs from Saurashtra, including Gohel, were crouched at Neel's City Club, a resort in Rajkot claimed by Congress MLA Indranil Rajyaguru on July 27.
In any case, Gohel sneaked out of the resort after allegedly getting a call from kindred Congress MLA from Jamnagar (north, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja that night and has been inaccessible since even as other Saurashtra MLAs were traveled to Bengaluru the next night. On Tuesday, Jadeja was likewise among eight Congress MLAs who cross-voted separated from Raghavji Patel (Jamnagar provincial), C K Raulji (Godhra), Mahendrasinh Vaghela (Bayad), Dharmendrasinh Jadeja (Jamnagar north) and Amit Chaudhary (Mansa).
After Gohel went underground, flags credited to Congress had come up in Jasdan saying the MLA had disappeared and that anyone giving his whereabouts would be remunerated. Patel has been a five-time MLA, twice on a BJP ticket (he joined BJP in 1989) and quit it with Vaghela in 1995, "in light of the fact that the BJP did not make me serve", he had disclosed to The Indian Express a month ago. He was chosen as Congress MLA in 2007 from Dhrol and in 2012 from Jamnagar country.
He trusts that Patidars are the distinct advantages in Gujarat decisions, and was vexed that the Congress neglected to capitalize on their disgruntlement. He met Ahmed Patel thrice a year ago, looking for an upgrade in the gathering, and purportedly pitched himself as a contender for the Gujarat Congress boss' post. Concerning Gohel, Congress has lost the Jasdan situate just thrice since Independence, twice against Independents. Bavaliya won from this seat four successive circumstances before he was chosen to Lok Sabha in 2009. BJP had won this seat in a bypoll in 2009 when Bharat Boghra crushed Bavaliya's little girl Bhavna. Nonetheless, the Congress recaptured it with Gohel overcoming Boghra in the 2012 Assembly decision by nearly 10,000 votes.
Child of an agriculturist, Gohel was among the put stock in associates of Bavaliya. At the point when Bavaliya made major decisions in Jasdan, Gohel was chosen to Jasdan taluka panchayat without precedent for 2000. He was again chosen to Jasdan taluka panchayat in 2005 and filled in as leader of the panchayat till 2010. Subsequent to turning into an administrator, he acquired a Bolero auto and furthermore began a petroleum pump at Nava Gam vilage in organization, says his more established sibling Mansinh. Gohel was picked as Congress contender for the Jasdan situate in the 2012 Assembly decisions while Bavaliya, at that point a sitting MP from Rajkot Lok Sabha voting public rather battled the Assembly surveys from Botad.
The Congress fortified its hold over Jasdan situate as the gathering held Jasdan and Vinchhiya taluka panchayats in 2015. This while, submissive Gohel played second fiddle to Bavaliya. His family said today they didn't know where Gohel was. "That night, he called his better half and educated her that he would be back home on August 9 in the wake of voting gets over. From that point forward, there has been no news of him. Toward the beginning of today, we came to know he is in Gandhinagar for voting," Gohel's senior sibling Mansinh disclosed to The Indian Express. However, Bavaliya was biting on Tuesday. "I saw him with BJP men. He has voted in favor of the BJP. He ended up being a gaddar (double crosser)," Bavaliya said via telephone from Gandhinagar. Boghra, who is presently broad secretary of Rajkot region unit of the BJP, said Gohel was in contact with "Bapu (Shankersinh Vaghela) and that was on a par with being in contact with the BJP," said Boghra.
