Ashmita Chhabria

New Delhi: There are speculations of Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee working president Hardik Patel joining BJP. On Monday, Hardik Patel dismissed rumours and he said that he has no such plans. He further added that he is upset with the partyโ€™s leadership.

Speaking to reporters he said, โ€œPeople will say a lot of things. When Joe Biden won the US elections, I praised him. This is because his vice president is of Indian origin. But does this mean I will join Bidenโ€™s party?โ€

Hardik Patel is unhappy with the Congress party. In recent days he has praised BJP. For revoking Article 370, he lauded BJP. He praised BJP for construction of Ram Mandir. The Congress leader said, โ€œSuch decisions of the party should be commended.โ€

He issued a clarification for praising BJP and said, โ€œIf a rival has a good quality, then, in politics, we will have to think about it. If they make bold decisions, we will also have to make bold decisions. If you waste your time, then people will leave you. There are many young people who want to work for the party. I openly wish that such youngsters should get an opportunityโ€.

He said that he is not upset with party leaders Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi, but he his upset with the partyโ€™s leadership.

โ€œI am not upset with Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi. I am upset with the state leadership. Why am I upset? Elections are coming up and in such times work should be done together with honest and strong people. They should be given positions,โ€ he added.

The Congress leader stated that there are many youngsters who are willing to work for the party. He demanded that such youngsters should be given a decent position in the party so that they can help party flourish. 

โ€œPeople who work at the rural level to strengthen the party should be given opportunities. It is poll time, go to villages, work hard in cities. As far as being upset is concerned, questions come up in a family and talks are held. I clarified earlier too to not spread rumours,โ€ Patel added.
