Quotes

Jignesh Mevani

Firebrand Congress leader and Vadgam MLA

“My top priority is a drug-free Gujarat because alcoholics may come out of their addiction and get rehabilitated. But getting out of drug addiction is extremely difficult. People do not die by suicide when they do not get liquor, but they loot their family members and even kill themselves when they do not get drugs. According to one report, there are lakhs of people in Gujarat who consume drugs. Where are we heading? The chief minister and home minister are clueless about rehabilitating people who are addicted to drugs.”

“A woman told me about the issue of liquor and asked me to go to the SP’s office in Tharad. I was offended to see the police’s indifference towards the woman, who has been raising this issue for the past several years. I got angry, shouted and became extremely aggressive. It caught the people’s imagination, maybe because people in Gujarat wanted someone fiery like me to take the issue to its logical end. Lakhs of people have been commenting on the reels.”
