While Boskey voted for Congress, Jadeja voted for BJP. There is also buzz that the Sharad Pawar-Praful Patel combine wanted to keep both BJP and Congress happy. By voting for the Congress, Boskey, the Umreth MLA, has in a way paid back to the party which had offered him a safe seat five years back during the 2012 Gujarat elections. After he was ditched by the Congress to favour the NCP state chief, Vadodia who had joined the Congress in 2006 after leaving the saffron fold, re-joined BJP which made him a Rajya Sabha member. Ahead of the state assembly elections this year, Boskey wants to ensure that he continues winning Umreth assembly seat with the support of Congress.
