Gandhinagar, Apr 8 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate L K Advani will file his nomination papers from Gandhinagar constituency today.
According to sources, Advani will be accompanied by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Advani will be seeking a fifth term from Gandhinagar after his victory from this constituency in 1991, 1998, 1999 and 2004.
His main rivals are Congress nominee Suresh Patel and noted danseuse Mallika Sarabhai, who is making her electoral debut as an independent. Patel is Congress MLA from Kalol for the second time.
The Gujarat police has already made tight security arrangements in view of Advani’s visit.
The collectorate’s office has been turned into a virtual fortress in preparation for Advani’s nomination filing.
Intelligence agencies have warned of increased threats to Advani. (ANI)
