Ahmedabad/Junagadh/Surendranagar/Botad – AAP Gujarat Frontal President Praveen Ram has commented on the joining of his close associate Raju Karpra into the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling it a resolution to the ongoing political controversy surrounding farmers’ issues in the state.
Speaking in a video statement, Praveen Ram said, “My close friend has now donned the saffron colors of BJP. From the very beginning, we said that the deal regarding the farmers’ movement was struck in jail itself, and that the betrayal of farmers started there. Despite this, my friend raised several allegations against AAP Gujarat, but with his joining BJP today, all those claims have proven baseless.”

Praveen Ram emphasized that the move would demonstrate to Gujarat’s farming community that the accusations leveled against AAP Gujarat were unfounded. “Farmers will see that AAP Gujarat has always stood for their rights and their cause,” he said.
