Ahmedabad: This Amdavadi autorickshaw driver has run into several bureaucratic dead ends in his quest to change his name from Rajveer (Brave King) to “RV155677820”, a moniker that smothers all signs of caste and religion. But now he plans to give his ideology a free run by contesting in the Gujarat assembly poll as an Independent from Gandhinagar South. He said his political plank will be shorn of all community labels, which political parties value greatly in their “winnability” appraisal.
