In yet another sign of distancing himself from the Congress, Hardik Patel, the working president of the Gujarat Congress, has dropped the party name from his Twitter profile bio.
The move has triggered buzz about his putative exit just months before elections in the State. Lately, the young leader has publicly criticised the Congress leadership while appreciating the BJP and its decisive leadership.
On Monday, Mr. Patel suddenly reworked his bio from which “Working President of the Gujarat Congress” is now missing from his Twitter profile, which says: “Proud Indian Patriot. Social and Political Activist. Committed to a better India.” The Congress’s “hand” symbol has also been removed.
