While Thakor & Patel, once considered close to Rahul Gandhi, contested this Gujarat election on BJP tickets, Mevani, who had won in 2017 as an Independent, is now with Congress.
Ex-Congressman Patel also tells media to ask new party chief Kharge if Gandhi family still calls the shots & blames the Congress for relying on 'communal politics' in Bilkis Bano case.
While Alpesh Thakor and Hardik Patel are members of the BJP, they can no longer join forces within the party. Jignesh Mevani is a lone ranger in Congress.
According to a BJP functionary, Patel may also contest the Gujarat polls. The party also sees in him a potential contender against the appeal enjoyed by the Aam Aadmi Party among the youth.
Today is the anti-socialist era. Libertarianism is fighting; dedicated with all its power and love of liberty. It does not matter whether it wins in the political sphere, wrote KD Valicha in 1957.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
