Convenor of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), Hardik Patel met Gujarat Congress Pradesh Congress Committee office bearers on Monday, 30 October, to discuss the issue of Patidar reservation — a precondition set by PAAS leader Hardik Patel for extending support to the party in the Assembly polls.
After the three-hour long meeting at the Congress's state headquarters, PAAS leaders said they will hold another round of discussion by 7 November to resolve the issue.
Hardik Patel, who skipped the meeting, said the next round of negotiations will be the final.
If we have been fighting for reservation in government jobs and educational institutions for two-and-a-half years, then waiting for a few days is not a big deal. But the next meeting on the issue will be the last and final.Hardik Patel
