Watch: Controversial Congress MLA Alpesh Thakor Incites Crowd Against Migrants, Threatens Violence
Congress MLA Alpesh Thakor with Rahul Gandhi (Facebook)
Congress MLA Alpesh Thakor has courted fresh controversy after a video dated September has emerged showing him inciting a crowd against migrants. This comes in the light of Thakor making news by announcing his decision to go on a fast to save ‘rioters’ targeting North Indians.
The state of Gujarat has recently witnessed violence against migrants especially from states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh following an alleged rape of a 14-month-old girl. The accused is said to be a migrant from Bihar.
He also expressed anger against “outsiders” taking the job of locals in Gujarat’s industries.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
