Former Gujarat Chief Minister Shankersinh Vaghela said on Sunday, 21 August, that he is all set to launch a new party, named Prajashakti Democratic Party (PDP), ahead of the Assembly elections in the state.
He also said that he plans to contest all 182 seats in the Assembly with "good leaders".
He also attacked the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state, saying that taking away the portfolios of two ministers (Rajendra Desai and Purnesh Modi) will not put a stop to corruption.
