		The Congressmen's charges against Vaghela: he did not consult the party on important decisions; by openly wooing the traditional Congress vote banks of Kshatriyas, Harijans, adivasis and Muslims, he was attempting to cut into it; and under Vaghela, corruption had reached unprecedented levels.

		Also to Vaghela goes the credit for doing away with the tender system of allotting government contracts and the alleged exorbitant rates at which deals for power plants were struck.

		Vaghela demanded a public apology from Chaudhary for likening the Dal's uniformed volunteers to private securitymen on hire and said the Dal would disrupt his public functions across Gujarat until he apologised.
