Hardik Patel and team plan four big rallies in Bihar next week, target BJP

GANDHINAGAR: Agitating Patidars are planning to campaign against the BJP in the Bihar elections. After threatening to disturb PM Modi's programme in the US later this month, Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti convenor Hardik Patel said that the community will hold four big rallies in Bihar next month.

Hardik had recently floated Patel Navnirman Sena (PNS) to bring together the community across the state, which would work across 14 states, Hardik told ET. In a statement issued on Facebook, Hardik said the group would "spoil everyone's game". "Not a single leader from the BJP said anything on the atrocity committed on the Patel community in the state till date," he said, adding the PNS would conduct four big rallies in Bihar next week and all 197 conveners from Gujarat would take part in them. PNS workers from UP and MP will travel to Bihar to make the rallies successful."
