Top sources in the Congress have told news agency Press Trust of India that Hardik Patel will likely join the party on March 12. “He is likely to contest the election from Jamnagar constituency,” they said.
The top Congress sources said: “Hardik Patel, who led the agitation demanding reservation for the Patidar community in Gujarat is likely to join the Congress on March 12 in the presence of party chief Rahul Gandhi.”
