Former Congress leader Hardik Patel is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at a function expected to be held at the ruling party’s Gujarat headquarters on Thursday 2nd June, as per source.
Patel quit the Congress on May 19 three years after joining the party in 2019. The former Gujarat Congress working president is expected to be inducted in the presence of BJP Gujarat president CR Patil and BJP partymen. Some central leaders are also likely to attend the event.
In his resignation letter shared on Twitter, Hardik Patel criticised the Congress party and its leaders, saying they have no road map for the people and were non-serious and behaved as if they hated Gujarat and Gujaratis.
Hardik Patel came into picture in 2015 at the age of 21 when he became face of Patel Anamat Andolan Samiti’s agitation for consideration of Patel community on OBC Other Backward Classes list for quota in educational institutes and jobs.
