Days after Congress leader Hardik Patel praised the BJP and its “decisive leadership”, there is a growing buzz that he could quit the party ahead of the Assembly election in Gujarat.
The 28-year-old working president of Gujarat Congress is apparently upset with the party leadership for “ignoring him and not assigning him any important work portfolio in the party”. Recently, he slammed the party leadership, including former president Rahul Gandhi, while accusing the State congress leaders of conspiring to scuttle his political career.
He also praised the BJP leadership and its decisive attitude while calling himself a “proud Hindu”.
