BJP has given slogans, but no work on ground: Alpesh Thakor

Gujarat OBC leader Alpesh Thakor came out in support of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday.

Thakor said "the BJP has given several slogans..." but "no work has taken place on the ground".

"The BJP has given several slogans for the SC, ST and OBCs but in reality, no work has taken place on the ground. Irrespective of what the Congress' image is, Rahul Gandhi is honest, his intention is noble. He told me that we would work together and I have not asked for any post in return for my support," Thakor told News18.

Thakor is expected to join the Congress today at Rahul Gandhi's Gandhinagar rally.

News18 also reported Thakor as saying all allegations against theGandhis were baseless. And asking why people were not talking about corruption in the BJP.

“Measures like GST and Demonetisation were done in haste. All black money, that the BJP claimed to be eliminating, has been turned to white. The traders have only now realised it,” Thakor told News18.
