The kind of speculations that were being made in Gujarat's politics for some time have proved to be true today. Congress has got a big hit. Hardik Patel, the big Patidar leader of Gujarat has resigned from the Congress. He has also written a long and wide letter to Sonia Gandhi and also announced his resignation. In this letter, Hardik Patel has targeted the big leaders of Congress. He did not take the name of Rahul Gandhi but his gesture was towards Rahul.
Hardik has written in clear words that when the country was in trouble, Congress needed leadership, then our leaders were abroad.Through a tweet he exerted - “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.”
Hardik further wrote that whether it is the matter of Lord Ram in Ayodhya, or the issue of citizenship law-NRC, or the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir or the decision to implement GST, the country wanted a solution for all these for a long time. But the Congress party continued to act only as a hindrance in this. Be it India, Gujarat or my Patel community, the Congress party's stand on every issue was limited only to the opposition of the central government. The people of almost every state of the country rejected the Congress because the leadership of the Congress party could not present a roadmap to the public.
He ignored the issues of the people.Hardik further writes- The lack of seriousness towards any issue in the top leadership of the Congress party is a big issue. Whenever I met the leadership of the party, it seemed that their attention was more on their mobile and other things than listening to the problems of the people of Gujarat. Whenever the country was in trouble, or the Congress needed leadership, our leaders were abroad. The behaviour of the top leadership towards the people is such that they hate Gujarat and the people of Gujarat. It is sad when activists like us travel 500-600 km a day at our own expense, go to the public and then see that the big leaders of Gujarat, away from the issues of the people, focus only on that Delhi The leader who came from here got his chicken sandwich on time or not.
Patel also said that the Congress party does not want to do anything for Gujarat. That's why when I wanted to do something for Gujarat, I was despised. Today I very courageously resign from the party and the post. I am sure that this decision will be welcomed by all my colleagues and the people of Gujarat. For your information, let us tell you that a few days ago, Hardik Patel had praised the BJP government a lot. He also praised PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Since then there were speculations that Hardik Patel is joining BJP. It is too early to say which party Hardik will join, but leaving the Congress, he proved the old speculations right and gave air to new speculations.
