Hardik Patel Not Holding Talks With Us Despite Invitation: Gujarat Cong Chief
Mumbai: Gujarat Congress chief Jagdish Thakor criticised Hardik Patel by saying that he is giving anti-party statements in the media and not making himself available to resolve the differences when invited for talks with party members.
Thakor criticized Patel for making anti-party statements in the media and said Patel was unwilling to discuss his grievances with the party.
He further said that despite inviting the Patidar leader and Congress state working president for discussion, he has been avoiding talks.
Patel is reportedly angry with the party’s state leadership and has been publicly expressing his displeasure over its functioning in Gujarat ahead of the assembly elections due later this year.
“Hardik tweeted yesterday. As soon as I learnt about his tweet, I called him immediately and told him to come so that we can hold talks,” Thakor told reporters.
Thakor said Patel has assured to meet him as soon as he is relieved of his previous engagements.
“I called him last week and again yesterday. Last time he said he was busy with his father’s death anniversary. Later he said he is in Surat and will meet him as soon as he is free.”
Thakor further said that dialogue is the best way to resolve differences, which we and the high command believe in.
The Patidar leader had joined the Congress ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and was later made the working president of the party’s state unit.
On Monday, Hardik rubbished the rumours, saying he had no such plans and said he was upset with the state party leadership.
“People will say a lot of things. When Joe Biden won the US elections, I praised him. This is because his vice president is of Indian origin. But does this mean I will join Biden’s party?” he said while speaking to the media.
He had recently lauded the BJP for revoking Article 370 and construction of Ram Mandir saying such decisions of the party should be commended.
