Union Minister Parshottam Rupala, returning to Ahmedabad on Thursday after attending a crucial Union Cabinet meeting in New Delhi, expressed confidence in his continued support from various communities, including the Kshatriyas. Rupala's remarks came amidst ongoing controversy surrounding his candidacy for the Rajkot Lok Sabha seat, with the Kshatriya community demanding his removal.
While interacting with the media at the Ahmedabad airport, Rupala maintained his composure and remained focused, exuding confidence in his stance. Despite facing scrutiny and pressure from various quarters, Rupala appeared unfazed, displaying a calm demeanor that left the media personnel awestruck. Addressing questions from reporters, Rupala emphasized that he enjoys support from all communities, including the Kshatriyas.
