Toilets at home must for Gujarat poll aspirants

Gandhinagar: Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on Monday proposed that having a toilet facility at home should be made a prerequisite for aspirants who want to contest any election in the state in future.

Ms Patel’s suggestion comes as a bid to give an impetus to the “toilet for each household” drive in the state and to spread awareness about the issue.

“Right from a candidate of village panchayat to even an MP, all must first prove that they are having toilet facility in their house. If you want to contest any form of election in Gujarat, you must have toilet facility, otherwise, they should not be allowed to contest,” Ms Patel said here.
