Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi said no dhol (drums) or speakers will be used as he went in a procession today to file his nomination papers from Surat's Majura segment for the assembly elections. He said he's doing it as a mark of respect towards for the victims of Morbi, where over 130 people died in a bridge collapse. Only a small rally will be taken out, said the senior BJP leader.
There were, however, a microphone and speaker used on stage as he addressed his supporters before proceeding to the election office to file his papers. On the minister's Facebook page, a live telecast of the rally was available.
Gujarat votes on December 1 and 5, and results will be out on the 8th, along with Himachal Pradesh's.
