Guj policeticians: Vanzara, other cops take poll plunge

Ahmedabad: Asserting that only a Hindutva-embracing party is capable of replacing BJP in “Hindutva’s laboratory Gujarat”, retired IPS officer D G Vanzara on Tuesday launched his political outfit — Praja Vijay Paksh — and announced that it will contest all the 182 seats in the upcoming assembly elections.

“Any party minus Hindutva cannot replace BJP from power in Gujarat because Gujarat is the laboratory of Hindutva. Praja Vijay Paksha (PVP) is the only party that is capable of this. We have something more to offer on Hindutva than BJP, which has been giving importance only to ̀ rajsatta’ (political authority). PVP will combine `rajsatta’ with `dharmasatta’ (religious authority),” said the former cop, who had gained the reputation of being an encounter specialist.
