<p><strong>What is your take on change of guard in the state?</strong></p>.<p>According to me, this is due to continuous and collective failure of the BJP government. It’s not that only Vijay Rupani government failed; all the previous governments of the party also failed. BJP ruled only on the basis of communal agenda, hatred and by managing castes. The Congress, being a weak opposition, failed to highlight these failures. AAP is strong and it will bust the BJP. Changing the CM face won’t hide collective failure.</p>.<p><strong>Patidars have been accommodated prominently in the new government. Will it help the BJP win again?</strong></p>.<p>I don’t think so. For a party which has been ruling for 27 years, yet it has to appease a community, don’t you think it indicates complete failure? You claim `sabka saath sabka vikas’, but why do you give prominence to one particular community? It shows their fault lines.
