Hardik Patel had joined Congress months after the Gujarat assembly election in which Congress party was able to give a tough competition to the incumbent BJP. Patel, who made his name as a young politician rose from the Patidar reservation movement which had engulfed the state in 2017.
However, after the 2017 assembly election, the Congress party couldn’t maintain the presence in Gujarat with repeated threats of MLA poaching. Even during the Rajya Sabha elections, the party could send only one leader to the Upper House of the parliament. This might have triggered the decision of leadership change at the state level.
With Hardik Patel now given the mantle of the Gujarat Congress, it is also expected to give a boost to the young cadres of the Congress.
