Surat :  In an upsetting development for Gujarat’s Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, posters in the busy Adajan area have appeared, alleging a link between his Personal Assistant’s brother and the suspected selling of MD drugs. The controversial posters, which featured the picture of BJP worker Rajesh Bhalakiya, who is referred to as  Rajubhai Powderwala in the posters, sparked a hot political debate, putting a pall over the minister’s office.

Rajesh Bhalakiya, who is referred to as Rajubhai Powderwala in the posters, is the brother of Jayesh Bhalakiya, the Personal Assistant to Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi. The provocative posters feature Rajesh Bhalakiya’s image, accompanied by a dubious message that reads, “If you take Raju’s powder once, you will ask for it again and again. Home service available (time 11:30 pm to 6:30 am). Contact 9725187204.”

Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi Faces Bad News as Posters Link PA's Brother to Alleged Drug Sale

The implied insinuations in the posters have left the Adajan and Rander areas reeling, known for their notorious reputation as hotspots for the illegal sale of the dangerous MD drug powder. The subtle reference to Rajesh Bhalakiya as “Raju Powderwala” has triggered speculation about his involvement in the drug trade.

The appearance of these incendiary posters has set off a political controversy, with Rajesh Bhalakiya filing a formal complaint with the Rander police soon after their discovery. The situation is further complicated due to his familial ties to Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi’s personal aide, Jayesh Bhalakiya.

Authorities are taking the matter seriously and are working tirelessly to apprehend those responsible for the misleading posters. City police sources confirmed that the posters have been removed, and they are currently reviewing CCTV footage from nearby shops and establishments to identify the mischief-makers involved in this poster war.

The Blunt Times attempted to reach out to Rajesh Bhalakiya for his comments on the matter, but he has remained tight-lipped about the issue. This silence has only added to the speculation and intrigue surrounding the situation.

As the investigation unfolds, citizens and political circles alike anxiously await further developments. The proximity of the controversy to Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi’s inner circle has intensified the public interest in the case.
