Pravin Ram slams BJP over the firing attack on AAP’s Una candidate Ajaybhai. Read the full story on the rising political violence in Gujarat elections.
The political climate in Gujarat has reached a boiling point ahead of the local body elections. Pravin Ram, the State Frontal Organization Chief of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), visited the hospital today to meet Ajaybhai Bambhaniya, the party’s candidate for the Una Municipality, who was injured in a shocking firing incident. Pravin Ram alleged that the attack was a desperate attempt by BJP leaders to secure an unopposed victory in the region.
“Gun Culture” Enters Gujarat: Pravin Ram Questions Law and Order
Addressing the media outside the hospital, Pravin Ram expressed deep concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state. He drew parallels between the current situation in Gujarat and the historic “gun culture” of other states, claiming that the BJP government has failed to protect candidates. “It is shocking that despite the Election Commission’s claims of seizing weapons before the polls, a gun was used to fire at our candidate. Where did this weapon come from?” Pravin Ram questioned.

Allegations of Political Intimidation and Forceful Withdrawals
The AAP leader revealed that there has been immense pressure on candidates to withdraw their nominations. Pravin Ram claimed that while Congress candidates in Una were successfully intimidated into withdrawing their forms to help BJP win uncontested, AAP candidates like Ajaybhai stood their ground. He suggested that the firing was a direct retaliation for Ajaybhai’s refusal to back down and his past efforts to expose local corruption.

AAP to Fight with Full Strength in Una
Despite the life-threatening attack, Pravin maintained that the Aam Aadmi Party would not be intimidated. He confirmed that Ajaybhai will continue his campaign from the hospital and that the party will contest the Una Municipality elections with full vigor. “They can fire bullets or file false cases, but we will not step back. The people of Gujarat are watching this ‘bloody game’ and will give a befitting reply on election day,” Pravin Ram concluded.
