The Kshatriya community in Gujarat has announced plans to field 400 candidates against Union minister and BJP’s Rajkot Lok Sabha seat candidate Parshottam Rupala in the upcoming elections. This move is part of a drive called ‘Operation Rupala’ launched by core committees of various Kshatriya associations. The community is protesting against Rupala for his controversial comments about the maharajas acquiescing to persecution by foreign rulers and the British.
