The Election Commission will announce the poll schedule for Gujarat any day. However, all eyes are set on the rally organised by OBC, ST and ST Ekta Manch convener Alpesh Thakore in Ahmedabad on October 23. The rally has been named ‘Janadesh Sammelan’.

Thakore is making his moves quite cautiously but intelligently because the OBCs constitute 54 per cent of the Gujarat population. His first attempt is to present a show of strength in the rally. No wonder, he has claimed that more than 5 lakh people will attend the October 23 rally.
