Rohan Gupta, a spokesperson for the Gujarat Congress, has made the difficult decision to withdraw his candidacy from the Ahmedabad East Lok Sabha constituency. This decision, he explains, stems from his father's declining health, which demands his full attention and care.
At 46 years old, Gupta has made a name for himself, notably serving as the chairperson of the party's social media wing. His bid for the Ahmedabad (East) Parliamentary seat had garnered attention, marking him as a significant contender in the political arena.
Born into a family deeply rooted in Congress politics, Rohan Gupta is the son of the esteemed Congress leader Rajkumar Gupta. His presence in national media, where he actively represented the Congress in various television debates, has been notable.
Originally hailing from Bhiwani in Haryana, the Gupta family has established a significant presence in Gujarat's political landscape over the years.
This development comes amidst a shifting political climate in Gujarat, with the BJP consolidating its position. Notably, the BJP has welcomed prominent members from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) into its fold. This strategic move, orchestrated by state BJP President C.R. Paatil, includes figures such as Mukesh Patel, the state secretary of AAP, J.J. Mevada, the deputy state leader, and former Assembly candidate Dinesh Kapadia.
