Hardik Patel on Saturday, 13 April, said the Congress gave a lot of respect and power to MLA Alpesh Thakor, which he could not handle.
Thakor, who joined Congress in 2017, left the party on 11 April stating that it has “betrayed” him and that Gujarat Kshatriyas Thakor Sena, an outfit floated by Alpesh, comes on “top priority”.
“Congress party had given so much respect and power but he could not handle it. He started playing blame games,” Mr Patel told ANI.
