Vadodara, Jul 10: Former Gujarat Education minister Nalin Bhatt today appealed to former BJP leader Sanjay Joshi to expose those giving him threats.
Claiming fresh threat to his life, Joshi, a known detractor of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, has written to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram seeking more security.
He claimed that he had received fresh threat calls on his mobile phone from three different numbers and also through letters.
In a statement issued here, Bhatt made an appeal to Joshi “to visit Gujarat and expose those elements giving him threats”.
Bhatt alleged that “fake CDs” about Sanjay Joshi were sent to Mumbai from Gujarat during the national executive committee meeting of BJP, following which, Joshi had resigned from the post of BJP general secretary. “Why did the BJP central leadership keep quiet on finding out who was responsible for the distribution of this fake CD,” he asked.
Bhatt further alleged that the BJP leadership was under the “influence” of chief minister Narendra Modi, “which is why it has not taken any action”.
The BJP government has “failed” to arrest those responsible for the murder of former Gujarat Home minister Haren Pandya, which happened nine years ago, he said.
