A man hurled both his shoes in quick succession at Gujarat Home Minister Pradeep Sinh Jadeja while shouting slogans of “Bhrashtachar Haay Haay, Daru Bandi Haay Haay” while the Minister was addressing a press conference outside the main door of the Gujarat legislative assembly complex in Gandhinagar. From BJYM chief Rutvij Patel being slapped in a public meeting in Mehsana to Rajya Sabha MP Shankarbhai Vegad being slapped at a wedding in Surendranagar to Rutvij Patel’s cavalcade being attacked by rotten eggs in Surat, BJP leaders have had a tough time in dealing with public anger recently.

Back in September 2016, youth from the Patidar community created a ruckus in a Amit Shah rally in Surat in which had to take off just a few minutes into his speech. Chairs were flung around, broken, and Amit Shah had to depart quickly to the circuit house.
The Gujarat Government and various communities in Gujarat have had multiple clashes in the past year and a half from the Dalit outrage after the atrocities against Dalits in Una, to Patidar rallies and the ensuing violence in many parts of Gujarat to the most recent and brutal attack on farmers in Sanand by Gujarat Police.
