Ahmedabad, April 15: Aam Aadmi Party Gujarat chief Gopal Italia on Friday invites Gujarat Congress leader Hardik Patel to join the AAP, which he described as a like-minded party, amid reports that he may resign due to infighting inside the party.
Patel and other committed people do not have a place in Congress, according to Italia.
“If Hardik Patel is not liking in Congress, he should join a like-minded party like AAP. Instead of complaining to Congress, wasting his time, he should contribute here… A party like Congress would not have a place for dedicated people like him,” Italia told ANI.
However, Patel denied rumours of him leaving the Congress, by saying, “I have given my 100 per cent to Congress till now, and will give the same in the coming days. We will do better development in Gujarat. There will be small fights and blame games within the party, but we have to work together to make Gujarat a better place.”
Notably in 2015, Patel became the head of the Patidar movement in Gujarat, demanding reservation for the group, and eventually joined the Congress.
