Gujarat polls: Hardik sides with Rahul Gandhi, says Patels stand with Congress now

2Hardik said that Patidar leaders have not sought any ticket from the Congress.
Patidar leader Hardik Patel on Wednesday declared that the Congress party has agreed to the demands of his community in the wake of the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.
Addressing mediapersons on Wednesday, the Patel leader said that the Congress has assured him of going ahead with the resevation sought by the Patidar community if they win the elections.
Alleging that some communities have been given more than adequate reservation, Patel said that though the “Congress party is not a relative, it has talked about a survey on OBC quota”.
“When the survey takes place, everything will be crystal clear in front of people,” he said. “Congerss will have to put their reservation formula with details in their manifesto”.
He further said that Patel leaders have not sought any ticket from the Congress, but all they want is reservation.
The 24-year-old leader asserted that all that the Patidar community wants is the right to study and employment.
Talking about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Patel said that he had no enmity with the ruling party, but added that they do not bother about the welfare of 6 crore people of Gujarat.
“I will make all efforts to fight against the BJP because they have compromised the well being of the people of Gujarat and have disrespected the Patidar community,” he added.
The Patidar leader also dismissed reports of him joining any political party. “I am not going to join any party for at least next two years,” Patel said.
