Ahmedabad, Sept 3: Liladhar Vaghela, a veteran leader of Bharatiya Janata Party and MP from Gujarat’s Patan constituency, is slowly recuperating the intensive care unit of a hospital after he was attacked by a cow, which is considered as “god” and “mother” by the saffron party.

Two ribs of 83-year-old Vaghela were fractured in the cow attack that took place on Friday outside his residence in Sector 21, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He was taken to Gandhinagar Civil Hospital and moved to ApolloHospital on the same evening after he complained of difficulty in breathing.

Vaghela’s associates say that he had ventured out for his routine morning walk with a few rotis left over from the previous night to feed a stray cow near his home. The cow gored him.

A medical bulletin issued by Apollo Hospital described Vaghela’s condition as stable and said that he was recuperating in the ICU.

Before being elected to Parliament, Vaghela was a cabinet minister in Gujarat. He is currently a member of the standing committee on water resources, the consultative committee on panchayati raj, and the committee on drinking water and sanitation.

Soon after the cow attack, Gandhinagar collector and in-charge municipal commissioner S K Langa issued a directive for the deployment of a state reserve police company with the cattle and dog menace department of the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC) to round up stray cows.

"The Legislative Council means the Upper House and the Elders House.

"We need seniority to guide us... That's the reason we are selecting these leaders... The high command has given these senior leaders the opportunity to discuss with all our leaders about strengthening the party," he added.

Mandya, July 30: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday said Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has done a commendable job in tackling the Covid-19 situation and floods and that the question of changing the leadership does not arise.

Karnataka on Wednesday reported 5,503 new cases of Covid-19 and 92 related fatalities, taking the total number of infections to 1,12,504 and the death toll to 2,147.

Speaking to reporters here, Kateel said, "Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has gone to Delhi to discuss the projects sanctioned to state with the central minister. There is no need to read too much into it."

Replying to a query on graft charges against the BSY government by the Congress, Kateel said, "Congress national president, state unit president are out on bail in graft cases . Why did a Congress leader who calls himself a bande (rock) has approached court seeking stay on CBI probe? Before making any allegations against the government, they should think about 'irregularities' in Indira Canteen and housing schemes," he charged.

Instead of instilling confidence and hope among the people in these testing times, the Congress is unnecessarily creating fear with petty politics, he told reporters in Shravanabelagola, Hassan district.

"The Yediyurappa-led BJP government is working day and night to tackle the Covid-19. Similarly, several non-governmental organisations have joined hands with the government in the fight against the virus. But, the Congress is only creating confusion by issuing baseless statements," Kateel said.
