I won't contest Gujarat assembly polls: Vaghela

Vaghela told reporters in Ahmedabad that the Congress would contest the polls under the leadership of Amarsinh Chaudhary, whom he replaced as GPCC chief, and asked party leaders to sink their differences to take on the ruling BJP in the polls.

Giving a call for a 'riot-free Gujarat', Vaghela said he expected the party to win eighty per cent of the seats in the assembly and all the Lok Sabha seats in the forthcoming elections.

He said results of recent local body elections and assembly and Lok Sabha by-elections has shown that people had begun turning to the Congress.

The former chief minister questioned the BJP's plan to go in for early polls and said that the rehabilitation work was still incomplete.
