Vijaysinh Patel had opposed his own brother's renomination and asked for the price ticket to contest from Ankleshwar.

In Saurashtra, too, applicants in Mahuva, Jasdan and Amreli are going through opposition from within the celebration.
Mahuva municipality councillor Bipin Sanghvi surrender the BJP pronouncing he has been constantly not noted for candidature. Sanghvi, who has been with the BJP since Jan Sangh days, stated, "I have been asking for ticket for the last four terms. But I have been ignored always. Today, I have lost faith in the party and therefore I resigned." He also claimed that his supporters may also renounce from the celebration.
In Jasdan, an govt member of Rajkot district BJP unit Gajendra Ramani also surrender in a huff after the celebration chose Bharat Boghra to contest.
Announcing that he would join Congress on Saturday, Raman stated, "I have been working for the party for 40 years. I was told that I would be given the ticket from Jasdan, but at the last moment my name was deleted."
The number of Bavku Ughad — once a Narendra Modi baiter who had joined hands with former leader minister Keshubhai Patel — from Amreli seat also sparked anger amongst BJP workers. In Kamigadh village close to Amreli, nearly 30 celebration workers joined Congress on Friday. BJP misplaced this seat in 2012 meeting election.
Leader of opposition in the Congress-ruled Vadodara district panchayat Kamlesh Parmar resigned and threatened to contest as an unbiased towards incumbent Dinesh Patel aka Dinu Mama, who's eyeing an hat trick from Padra seat. Parmar resigned because the opposition chief, member of the district panchayat and from number one membership of the celebration.
Parmar stated he deserved a price ticket as he had ensured victory for the celebration twice in the district panchayat polls.

In 2010, his spouse become the district panchayat president, while he become the opposition chief after the 2015 polls. According to Parmar, his caste used to be in majority at the Padra seat. "Despite Kshatriyas being in majority, a Patel has been given the ticket for the second consecutive time. It seems only money works. Patel is rich unlike me," Parmar stated.
In tribal-dominated Dang, district BJP basic secretary Dashrath Pawar resigned from the submit as he used to be overlooked and the celebration re-nominated Vijay Patel, who had misplaced 2012 elections by way of a thin margin of 2,422 votes. Pawar, on the other hand, stated he had not resigned from the celebration and would do nothing that may harm Patel's prospects.
In Ahmedabad, Daskroi MLA Babu Jamnadas Patel, who confronted embarrassing protests in the presence of celebration observers right through sense-taking procedure, once again met with resistance once his identify used to be introduced.
State BJP president Jitu Vaghani, on the other hand, downplayed the dissent. "This has happened on very few seats. Dissent is also a part of our democratic process. We will soon convince all those who are unhappy and fight against Congress unitedly."
