The Bharatiya Janata Party has dropped sitting MLA and minister Brajesh Merja and nominated 5- term MLA Kantilal Amrutiya for the Morbi seat. Local residents are connecting it with the recent bridge collapse tragedy, in which 141 persons including 51 children lost their lives. However, party sources deny any such connection with the decision to drop Brajesh Merja.
