Going by his affidavit, the Congress MLA seems to be a fond of luxury cars. He recently bought a Lamborghini for Rs 4.5 crore. He also owns another 12 vehicles, including luxury cars, jeeps, tractors worth Rs 1.23 crore. He owns a Volkswagen Beetle, Land Rower, BMW, Toyota Innova and Toyota Camry.

His assets include movable and immovable properties in his wife's name too. In 2014 (when he contested a by-election), Rupani had declared assets of Rs 7.21 crore.

The CM owns movable assets including cash and jewelry worth Rs 3.45 crore while the value of movable assets owned by his wife, Anjaliben, is Rs 1.97 crore.

Meanwhile, Rupani, who filed his nomination for the next month's polls, attacked the Congress, saying the opposition party has “outsourced” itself to three prominent activists in the state as it has “nothing” of its own.

With the “son of Gujarat” Narendra Modi helming the Central government, the state will scale new heights under the BJP, he said at a gathering here, adding “we will have to ensure that our pride is not hurt”.

Rupani is the sitting MLA from the constituency where voting will be held in the first phase on December 9.
