BJP with 182 assembly seats Gujarat has released its first list of 160 candidates. The big thing is that BJP has won from Morbi. Kantilal Amrutiya Has been given a ticket. Kantilal Amrutiya Morbi is the same person who jumped into the river to save people in the Morbi bridge accident. More than 130 people died in this accident. Kantilal Amrutiya has been a five-time MLA from Morbi, but in the last election, he had to face defeat at the hands of the Congress candidate.
On October 30, the cable bridge over the Machhu river in Morbi was broken. Kantilal Amrutiya was present there when the bridge collapsed. Without delay, Amrita got involved in the relief work. He wore a tube and swam to get people out of the river. A video of it also rapidly went viral on social media. Everyone praised Kantilal’s courage in the video.
The Patidar-dominated Morbi assembly seat is considered a BJP stronghold, but this time the electoral equations may change due to the Morbi bridge accident. Before the BJP’s list, apart from Kantilal Amrutia, there was a discussion in the party on the name of Brijesh Merja. In the 2017 assembly elections, five-time MLA Kantilal Amrutia was defeated by Brijesh Merja. He was in Congress then, but later joined BJP and became a cabinet minister.
