‘Patidar youth are being harassed’

Hardik Patel has claimed that a representation was made by prominent Patidar leaders and MPs of the community after Bhupendra Patel became the Chief Minister of Gujarat a few months back on this issue. Hardik Patel said, “The Patidar youth are being harassed because of false cases being registered against them. Despite representations, the Chief Minister has not done anything so far.” Hardik, who spearheaded protests in 2015 to bring Patidars under the OBC quota, claimed that he has 30 cases registered against him in Gujarat, out of which two FIRs are for sedition.

BJP retaliated

On the other hand, hitting back at Hardik, the BJP spokesperson said that the Gujarat government has withdrawn almost 80 per cent of the cases against the protesters. He said, “Both Hardik and Congress have lost their political base in Gujarat. That’s why Hardik is doing such political stunts to stay in the news. The Patidar community has been with the BJP in the past as well in the future. Will be with us.”
