The BJP has dismissed him as a former Congressman back in the party, but OBC leader in Gujarat Alpesh Thakor said today that he conducted a survey to decide which political party to join. Mr Thakor is seen as part of a triumvirate that includes Hardik Patel and Jignesh Mevani, young activists who have challenged the BJP government in Gujarat recently, drawing large crowds at their public rallies ahead of key assembly elections in the state to be held by December this year.
