"I Did Win Seats For Congress In Gujarat", Says Hardik Patel | Read

As it became clear that the BJP has won Gujarat again, Hardik Patel alleged that EVMs or Electronic Voting Machines were tampered with. He then sequestered himself at his apartment block in Ahmedabad's Silaj and messaged journalists that he would meet no one on Monday. Today, the 24-year-old face of the Patel or Patidar agitation for reservation, said he played a crucial role in the Congress' vastly improved performance in Gujarat. "I still won seats for the Congress. Their vote share went from 33 to 43 per cent... that is because of me," Mr Patel told NDTV at his home.
