The Minister of the Indian Federation and the head of the Bharatiya Gatata Party in Gujarat State, CR Patel, confirmed today (Thursday) that Vigay Robani, the former Prime Minister of Googa, was among the victims of the crash of the Indian Airlines No. AI171.
The minister pointed out that Robani was traveling on this trip, heading to visit his family, noting that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Interior Minister Amit Shah went to Ahmed Abad to evaluate the situation closely.
Who is Vigay Robani?
Vijay Bhai Robani was born on August 2, 1956 in Yangon, Myanmar, to an Indian family of Googa, and his youngest sons, Miciabin and Rumnalal Robani, were the seven. As a result of the political turmoil in Myanmar, his family moved to the city of Rajkot in the state of Gujarat in 1960.
His educational and political career
Robani studied at the Darmindrasinji College of Art, then he obtained a Bachelor of Law from Sorashtra University. He was involved in political life early, and joined the Bharatia Jatata Party, where he assumed the position of Prime Minister of Gujarat State between 2016 and 2021.
His personal life
Robani married Angeli, a member of the Women’s Wing of the Bharatia Gata Party. They have two sons: The eldest son, “Roshab”, who is a graduate of engineering, and the daughter “Radika”, who is married to the legal accountant, Nemit Merya.
The couple lost their younger son, Boujet, in a tragic accident, which led them to establish the “Boujet Robani Memorial Fund” to support charitable works.
His business
Robani also worked as a mediator in the stock market, and he was a partner with his sons at the “Rasikalal” company, which was founded by his father.
