Protests have erupted across Gujarat following controversial remarks made by Parshottam Rupala, the Rajkot Lok Sabha candidate, regarding the Kshatriya community. Opposition to Rupala has intensified in Dabhoi taluka, Vadodara district, where the Rajput Samaj, aided by JCB machinery, has erected a banner at Sathod village's main gate. The banner explicitly prohibits entry to BJP workers, stipulating that they are barred until Rupala's candidacy is revoked.
