The BJP declared its second list of candidates on Saturday night, and it has left many party workers disappointed to say the least. The new list of 36 has 19 new faces, including four women, and covers most constituencies of Central Gujarat. Prominent names that feature in the list include State Home Minister Pradipsinh Jadeja from Vatva in Ahmedabad, State Fisheries and Animal Husbandry Minister Babu Bokhiria from Porbandar, and Nima Acharya from Bhuj.
Son of former BJP leader late Ashok Bhatt, Bhushan Bhatt has been repeated from Khadia Jamalpur constituency in Ahmedabad.
