AAP Gujarat Protest: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged protests across Gujarat over the Bhavnagar Lathakand, demanding justice for those who lost their lives and seeking the resignation of Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi. Party workers held demonstrations outside collector offices in several districts and submitted memorandums highlighting their concerns over the incident and the alleged recurrence of illicit liquor-related tragedies.
The AAP Gujarat Protest was organised as a statewide campaign, with party leaders calling for accountability and stronger action against those involved in the illegal liquor trade.
Protest Held Outside Collector Offices
In Ahmedabad, a large number of AAP workers participated in the demonstration. The gathering was attended by state organisational secretary and state chief spokesperson Dr Karan Barot, state women’s wing leader Neha Kevalramani, Raju Dixit, Deepak Desai, Mukesh Chauhan, Jatin Patel, student leader Yatrik Patel, Zuber Sheikh, Dimpleben, Mahesh Desai, Piyush Agrawat and Reena Panchal, among others.
Addressing the gathering, Dr Karan Barot said the party had registered its protest at the collector’s office and that similar demonstrations were being conducted across Gujarat.

AAP Raises Questions Over Repeated Liquor Tragedies
During the AAP Gujarat Protest, party leaders alleged that Gujarat has witnessed repeated incidents involving illicit liquor. They referred to a previous liquor tragedy in 2022 and claimed that although the government had then talked about forming a committee and taking strict measures, concerns over enforcement continue.
AAP leaders alleged that action against bootleggers and raids were carried out following earlier incidents, but questioned whether such measures have been sufficient to prevent similar tragedies.
The party has demanded stronger and sustained enforcement rather than action only after a major incident occurs.
Harsh Sanghavi’s Resignation Demanded
AAP has specifically sought the resignation of Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, arguing that political accountability should follow a tragedy in which people lost their lives.
The party also referred to other major incidents in Gujarat, including the TRP Game Zone fire and bridge-related accidents, while questioning whether preventive action is consistently taken before such incidents occur.
According to AAP leaders, authorities often initiate large-scale inspections or restrictions after an incident, but the focus should also remain on preventing such events in the first place.
Party Submits Memorandum to Authorities
As part of the AAP Gujarat Protest, party workers submitted a memorandum to the collector. The memorandum reportedly raised concerns about the availability of illicit liquor and demanded action against those allegedly involved in its distribution.
AAP leaders said the government should demonstrate accountability and take measures that prevent the recurrence of liquor-related tragedies.
The party also claimed that illicit liquor continues to be a concern in areas near Gujarat’s borders and alleged that illegal liquor networks operate despite the state’s prohibition policy. These are political allegations made by AAP and have not been independently established in the material provided.
AAP Calls for Stronger Enforcement
Dr Karan Barot and other party leaders argued that the government needs to take sustained action against illegal liquor networks instead of waiting for tragedies to occur.
The AAP Gujarat Protest is part of the party’s broader political campaign seeking accountability over the Bhavnagar incident. AAP has maintained that families affected by the tragedy deserve justice and that those responsible should face strict action.
Political Pressure Builds in Gujarat
The demand for Harsh Sanghavi’s resignation adds to the political debate surrounding the Bhavnagar Lathakand. By organising demonstrations across districts, AAP has sought to put pressure on the state government and draw public attention to questions surrounding enforcement of Gujarat’s prohibition laws.
The AAP Gujarat Protest also reflects the opposition party’s attempt to make public safety, accountability and illegal liquor a major political issue.
The next course of action by the state government and law enforcement agencies will determine how the concerns raised by AAP are addressed. For now, the party has reiterated its demand for justice for the victims, strict action against those responsible and accountability from the government.
