AHMEDABAD: Claiming that the BJP will lose the 2017 assembly election due to their “arrogance” and “injustice” caused to people of Gujarat , the Patidar quota leader—Hardik Patel on Thursday challenged before a hugely attended public meet in Idar town in Sabarkantha district that if BJP wins more than 10 seats in Saurashtra-Kutch during the first phase of the election, then he will wind up the quota stir.“I have been campaigning in Saurashtra since a long time and the people of Saurashtra have made up their mind against the BJP government. I can tell you in this event that if the BJP gets more than 10 seats out of total 54 in Saurashtra and Kutch, then I will wind up this agitation,” said Hardik at the ‘Khedut Adhikar Sanmelan’ at Virpur Samajvadi in Idar.Hardik asked people not to vote for independents and even NCP candidates. “Don’t vote for the independents and not even the NCP. They all are BJP’s pawns. There are only two parties in the polls which are BJP and Congress. If we are not voting for the BJP then who remains as the option.” It needs mention that before pledging allegiance to Congress , Hardik had held a meeting with NCP leader Praful Patel.Polls will take place for 89 out of 182 seats seats in Saurashtra-Kutch and South Gujarat region in first phase of the assembly elections on Saturday.He went on saying, “Entire Gujarat has decided to defeat these people in power who are unable to see the people’s plight in their arrogance. Ravana’s arrogance was also destroyed. Lanka was very developed but as Ravana was arrogant, the entire Lanka was destructed. Sin, arrogance and injustice cannot sustain for a long time. Their defeat is definite.”After officially pledging the support to the Congress, Hardik has started campaigning rigorously against the BJP. He religiously makes the people take pledge against the ruling party which he also did in Idar assembly seat where fight is between Congress candidate Mani Vaghela and Gujarati actor-turned BJP nominee Hitu Kanodia.
