A BJP leader facing opposition for publicly celebrating his birthday in Surat has faced numerous controversies.
October 13, 2025
BJP leaders are publicly celebrating their birthdays, bursting firecrackers, cutting cakes, blowing lacquer, and displaying black money. Amit Singh Rajput, councilor of Godadara-Dindoli Ward No. 26 in Surat and a former ruling party leader of the SMC, created a scene by publicly celebrating his birthday. This is a foreign idea, and the BJP is running a Swadeshi campaign. A police complaint was filed alleging that the corporate man had previously sexually assaulted a girl and torn her clothes.
At that time, former BJP president and Water Minister in the Modi government, Chandrakant Raghunath Patil, extended warm birthday wishes to Amit, councilor of the Limbayat Assembly constituency. He shared a photo on Facebook, saying, “I pray that God grants you good health and a long life!”
In Gujarat, 35 million poor people are surviving on government food grains. BJP leaders seem unconcerned about this.
Following a scuffle between a worker and the treasurer at the city BJP office, another BJP leader is publicly celebrating his birthday by flexing his muscles.
Farmers are prosecuted for public gatherings, but no action is taken against elements like BJP councilors for violating the notification. While the police used to take action against ordinary citizens for violating the notification, they are now taking action against these leaders. The police have become biased.
However, after the video surfaced, the councilor defended himself, saying the entire celebration was held at a private party plot.
Councilor Amit Rajput’s birthday was on October 3rd. The event was organized by The Great Maratha Group, Nilgiris. To celebrate the birthday, a grand ceremony was organized, lighting up the public road, bursting firecrackers, and cutting a cake on stage with Amit’s entry.
A birthday celebration was held on a public road at the gate of Sai Baba Society in Udhna. His supporters celebrated by bursting firecrackers on the road, causing traffic and public inconvenience.
There have been several incidents of birthday celebrations on public roads to demonstrate power or create a ruckus. Police have also taken action against such elements under the notification violation.
Milk and Quarter Controversy
A year ago, the city-wide discussion was sparked when BJP councilor Amit Rajput attempted suicide. Police recorded his statement at the hospital regarding food poisoning. Amit Singh Rajput stated that he had suffered food poisoning from consuming milk and quarter. He was taken to the hospital for treatment after his health suddenly deteriorated.
Amit’s Kidnapping
In Surat, BJP councilor Amit Rajput was threatened not to testify in a builder case. The businessman was threatened over a WhatsApp call.

The CCTV camera from Pramod Gupta’s office in Godhra’s Radhamadhav Market was seized. Based on the diaries, nine people, including Sumit Goenka, a master of multi-crore fraud, BJP councilor Amit Rajput, and the husbands of two councilors, were accused of kidnapping a Godhra builder in a car, taking him to the public relations office, and assaulting him.
Extortion of Money

The complainant spent the night sleeping outside the Godhra Police Station lockup. After kidnapping the builder in a car, he beat him and forced him to write a letter.
A verbal altercation took place between PSI Rathod of Limbayat police station and Amit Rajput. Amit Rajput said in a statement that liquor shops have proliferated in his area. Police are filing complaints against passersby instead of criminals.
Brother’s Dispute
A case has been registered against Ravi Singh, brother of Amit Rajput, a BJP councilor and former ruling party leader of the municipal corporation, for tearing the girl’s clothes, assaulting, and molesting her.
Ravi Singh, involved in a feud between two families, along with the Shukla brothers, beat not only the girl, a resident of Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, but also her mother and two brothers.
The girl, who lives near Gangadhar Chowkdi in Kadodara, works at a human resource company.
People have quarreled with me and are beating me, please come from your dreams, brother Shankar. After this call, Pushpa reached Rangeela Township with her mother and younger brother.
Karan Shukla suddenly grabbed her hand and dragged her into the room. Pushpa’s mother ran to her rescue as he dragged her inside. He cursed her profusely. “I showed him I wouldn’t let him go,” he said. He also pulled Pushpa’s scarf. The Shukla brothers called their friend, Ravisingh Jamunasingh, brother of Councilor Amit Singh Rajput.
Ravisingh also joined the fight.
He went. He tore Pushpa’s clothes and beat her mother. He pushed her down the stairs. The girl filed a police complaint against Dinesh Shukla, Rajesh Shukla, Karan Shukla, and Ravi Singh Rajput.
A case was registered against Riyad.
Ravi Singh sat on the girl’s body and sexually assaulted her. He began molesting her. He tore her clothes. Ravi Singh molested her in a disgusting manner. “If you tell me about anyone, I will kill you and your family,” he said. He continued to beat her. After this beating and molestation, he continued to leave, threatening not to report her.
Since the molester was Amit Singh’s brother, she had to go to file a complaint. Since the influential leader’s brother was on the list of accused, the police had to delay filing a case. Attempts were made to persuade Pushpa. She submitted applications to the state police chief, the home minister, and the chief minister to file a case against the attacker and the sexual abuser. She went to the Police Commissioner’s office and continued her advocacy. After a month of advocacy at various levels, a case was filed against Netaji’s brother.
