Gujarat, May 18: Hardik Patel, the Gujarat leader, has resigned from Congress and its core membership on Wednesday.
“Today I courageously resign from the post of Congress party and primary membership of the party. I am sure that my decision will be welcomed by all my colleagues and the people of Gujarat. I believe that after this step of mine, I will be able to work really positively for Gujarat in future,” he wrote on Twitter.
This comes after party spokesman Manhar Patel slammed Patel for making baseless complaints and assertions, claiming that the Patidar leader never met with the party’s national or state leaders to discuss his problems.
When the Patidar leader removed the party’s name out of his Twitter bio earlier this month, it was clear that things were not going well between them.
The politician, who raised to popularity in 2015 as a result of the Patidar reservation protests, is gearing up for the upcoming Guajarat elections.
