Gandhinagar : A straight fight between traditional rivals the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress is on the cards in the Jan 20 by-election in Gujarat’s Chotila assembly constituency.
While the Congress has fielded Nirantbehn Dhoriya, the BJP has put up Bharat Khorani, the son of the sitting member Vashram Khorani, whose death caused the by-election. This is the second by-election in a row for the seat since the 2007 assembly elections.
Chotila has been a traditional Congress stronghold but was wrested by the BJP in the last by-election.
