Days after Congress’ Gujarat unit working president Hardik Patel expressed displeasure with the party leadership, the state unit of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday invited him to join the party. AAP’s Gujarat unit said they need leaders like Hardik Patel.
Aam Aadmi Party’s state unit leader Gopal Italia said on Friday, “Hardik Patel has emerged as a leader on his own. He has expressed displeasure towards the Congress leadership. We need leaders like Hardik in your Gujarat unit. He said that Hardik should not waste time putting his point before the Congress leadership, as it will not yield any result.
Earlier this week, Hardik Patel had said that the state Congress leadership was harassing him and the state Congress leaders wanted him to leave the party. It is worth mentioning that Hardik Patel had emerged in the political scene after becoming a part of the reservation movement. Hardik had said that despite repeated requests to Rahul Gandhi, he has not taken any action.
