Hardik to Join BJP Today: Ending all speculation, Patidar leader and former working president of Gujarat Congress Hardik Patel will join BJP today. Hardik Patel will join BJP in the presence of Gujarat BJP President CR Patil.

Hardik Patel tweeted in the morning and said that with the feelings of national interest, state interest, public interest and social interest, I am going to start a new chapter from today. I will work as a small soldier in the work of serving the nation under the leadership of the successful Prime Minister of India, Narendra Bhai Modi.

Hardik Patel had resigned from the Congress on 18 May 2022 and since then it was believed that Hardik Patel would join the BJP.

Why Hardik's joining the BJP is important?

28-year-old Hardik Patel led the Patidar reservation movement against the BJP government in 2015 and has since come to the political centre.

This movement was instrumental in the removal of Anandiben Patel, the then Chief Minister and the current Governor of Uttar Pradesh.

Hardik's joining the BJP assumes significance because of the assembly elections due in the state later this year.
