Parsotam Sabariya

Trouble seems to be brewing for the Congress in Gujarat as Jamnagar (Rural) lawmaker Vallabh Dharaviya today became the third MLA to quit the party in the last four days.

In a setback to the Congress in Gujarat ahead of the general elections, two party legislators on Friday tendered their resignations, with one of them joining the ruling BJP later in the day and another announcing his decision to join the party soon.

Congress MLA Parsotam Sabariya was Sunday arrested for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe from persons accused in an irrigation scam in Morbi district, over 60 kilometres from Rajkot, a senior official said.
