Hardik Patel quits Congress months ahead of Gujarat Elections
Hardik Patel shared his resignation letter on his official Twitter account
In a huge blow to the party, Gujarat Congress Committee working president Hardik Patel today quit the Congress party post and membership just months before the Gujarat assembly elections 2022.
Patel shared his resignation letter on his official Twitter account. "Today I took the courage to resign from the post (Gujarat Congress Committee working president) and primary membership of the Congress 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, I will be able to work truly for Gujarat in future," Patel said.
Speculations were rife about Patel joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after he had lauded the BJP government for revoking Article 370 and the construction of Ram Mandir.
Speculations are also there that Patel might join Aam Aadmi Party.
The Gujarat Assembly elections are slated to be held this year.
