TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ Patidar leader Hardik Patel is said to have communicated a set of demands, including an assurance of reservation for the Patel community in government jobs and educational institutions, to the Congress party as a condition for his support of the Grand Old Party.
In his meeting with Gujarat Congress in-charge, Hardik demanded better representation for politically influential Patels, who had until now backed the BJP, sources said, “Had a good meeting with Hardik Patel and his colleagues,” Gehlot tweeted Monday night.
Hardik has also sought tickets for Patidar candidates in areas dominated by the Patel community, Congress as saying. The 24-year-old leader, who led the quota stir in Gujarat, met senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot in Ahmedabad on Monday.
Patel, who is not eligible to contest elections, also told mediapersons that he had gone to a hotel to meet Gehlot. A number TV channels showed CCTV footage of Hardik entering and exiting a 5-star hotel where Rahul had also briefly checked in.
