Unjha’s APMC is Asia’s largest spice market, and Patels dominate the business. Farmers prefer to sell produce here because of facilities and quick payments.
BJP’s vulnerability in the district stems from the presence of a large number of influential Kadva Patel voters, who support Hardik Patel’s quota demand.
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.
