Gandhinagar, March 11 Gujarat BJP welcomed new members from various political backgrounds at its state headquarters, Shri Kamalam, marking an expansion ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

The ceremony, presided over by Gujarat BJP President, CR Paatil, saw the induction of key figures, including former Jhagadia MLA and Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP) President, Mahesh Vasava, signaling a shift in the state's political landscape.

Adding to the BJP's cadre, former Palanpur MLA, Mahesh Patel and Paresh Vasava, the National Vice President of BTP and former Chairman of the District Panchayat Committee, also pledged allegiance to the ruling party.
