Hardik Patel's mother prays
The mother of Hardik Patel, the Patidar or Patel quota agitation leader, prays as voting for the second phase of the Gujarat assembly election 2017 starts. Hardik Patel has called the Gujarat elections a "people versus the BJP" battle. During campaigning, he said it should be a "people's victory, not someone's defeat". Hardik Patel is 24 years old and so is too young to contest elections. He has pledged support for the Congress after much back and forth.
