“Hardik will record a plea in the Supreme Court in step with Kapil Sibal’s advice,” stated Jayesh Patel, a close aide of Hardik. “He will canvass in opposition to the BJP in Gujarat and throughout India if he does not get the criminal nod to record his nomination.”

Blames BJP for his destiny
My simplest fault is that I refused to bow right down to the BJP,” Patel tweeted. “Elections might come and pass however the BJP is operating in opposition to the Constitution.” He also wrote: “Why is the BJP stopping a 25-year-old Congress candidate from fighting the election? Many BJP leaders have criminal circumstances and convictions in opposition to them. Why is the law only for us?”
