AAP invites Hardik Patel to join party
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has invited Hardik Patel to join the party after he expressed displeasure over the manner in which Congress was treating him. State AAP president Gopal Italia said Hardik, a state Congress working president, should join a “like-minded party” like his. Instead of complaining to the Congress and wasting his time, he should join AAP. A party like Congress would not have a place for dedicated people like him,” Italia said. Both Italia and Hardik Patel were leaders of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), which spearheaded the Patidar reservation agitation in 2015. However, Patel has refuted the rumours about him leaving the party, stating that he will give his 100 per cent to the Congress. “I have given my 100 per cent to Congress till now and will do so in the future also. We will work for Gujarat. There will be small fights and blame games within the party, but we have to work together to make Gujarat a better place,” Patel said.
